There is a kind of online recently? Hanging your neck? The road to fitness is on fire. Uncles and aunts hung their heads on the trees and swung around with ropes. It is said that this can treat cervical spondylosis. However, some professional doctors said that although this fitness method adopts the principle of clinical traction, it is actually not desirable. It may directly damage nerves and spinal cord, and in severe cases, it may cause high paraplegia. ?

Is it recommended to use hanging neck fitness to treat cervical spondylosis?

Not recommended, and it's dangerous. Cervical spondylosis is the treatment of 1000 stones. The importance of this traction is that we generally pull according to the weight of human body110. It has certain postures, such as sitting and lying. However, the traction of hanging neck is far greater than that of seeking medical treatment. It can lead to muscle injury, ligament injury and joint dislocation. In severe cases, it will cause nerve and spinal cord injury, nerve injury, paraplegia and even life-threatening. Because joint diseases such as cervical vertebra and spine are caused by physical function degradation and long-term fatigue. Treatment needs one person and one plan. In addition, scientific exercise is also very important.

What is the principle of traction treatment for cervical spondylosis?

Cervical traction can make the adjacent vertebrae of cervical vertebra pull in the opposite direction, thus relieving the neck muscle spasm and relieving the pain symptoms. In addition, it can also increase intervertebral space and intervertebral foramen, which is beneficial to the recovery of nucleus pulposus and fibrous ring tissue of intervertebral disc herniation, can restore the physiological curve of our cervical spine, reduce the oppression and stimulation of nerve roots, promote nerve root edema, absorb and promote blood circulation, and is beneficial to local congestion and swelling.

So what kind of cervical spondylosis can be solved by traction?

We know that cervical spondylosis can be divided into five elements at present, namely cervical vertebra type, nerve root type, spinal cord type, vertebral artery type and sympathetic nerve type. Then there are only the following two kinds suitable for traction treatment. 1 is cervical spondylosis, cervical spondylosis, which is a kind of cervical spondylosis caused by spasmodic strain of neck muscles caused by long-term desk work, or by severe imbalance. Patients often have such changes in the physiological curvature of cervical spine, as well as the relaxation of cervical joint capsule and ligament, and the instability of cervical facet joints. What about traction? It can relieve the spasm of neck muscles and reset the synovium of this paralyzed facet joint, thus achieving the purpose of treating cervical spondylosis. The second is cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. At that time, due to the degenerative changes of cervical intervertebral disc, some diseases caused by compressing this nerve root appeared.
