The treatment of cervical "necklace" was questioned.
One or two hundred yuan "necklace" can treat all kinds of cervical discomfort. This is a titanium collar called "Fateng" which is very popular in some online forums. The salesperson said that the product was made by dissolving titanium and water in raw materials through a special process. The person in charge of the factory said that they had obtained the certification from China National Intellectual Property Administration.
However, Huang Guangmin, a doctor at the Institute of Sports Medicine of the State Sports General Administration, said that the current methods for treating cervical spondylosis include cervical traction physiotherapy, acupuncture and massage, medicine and surgical treatment. There is no medical literature to support the claim that titanium-containing products can treat cervical vertebrae and relieve fatigue.
Shop assistant:
The product can relieve neck discomfort.
Yesterday, in a sports brand shop in the Oriental Square of Wangfujing Street, the reporter saw two kinds of "white-collar necklaces", which are made of plastic, and the prices are 198 yuan and 260 yuan, as well as bracelets and anklets.
The salesperson said that the product of "Phiten" was "invented by a Japanese doctor" and was a health care product made by dissolving titanium and water in raw materials through unique technology. Water-soluble titanium can regulate micro-current of human body, relieve muscle soreness and accelerate blood flow in the body after wearing it. "This product has no shelf life, and cervical problems can be prevented. If there is a problem, it can relieve fatigue and soreness, but the onset time varies from person to person. "
Doctor:
Feeling effective is mainly a psychological effect.
"After skin treatment, how much can the skin absorb? Even if it has an effect, it is minimal. " Huang Guangmin pointed out that titanium metal will not dissolve or ionize at human body temperature or contact with body fluids and drugs, and will not react with human muscles and bones, so it is called "bionic metal". However, cervical spondylosis is caused by the injury and degeneration of the joints, intervertebral discs and surrounding soft tissues of the cervical spine, which leads to the stimulation or injury of the cervical nerve roots and vertebral arteries. From the etiology and pathology, the treatment and prevention of cervical spine is not so simple. Even if titanium can really regulate human current, its effect is minimal.
For some people who feel effective after wearing a "titanium collar" and a "titanium bracelet", Huang Guangmin said, "This is mainly a psychological suggestion. At present, the methods of treating cervical spondylosis include cervical traction physiotherapy, acupuncture and massage, medicine and surgical treatment. Wearing a necklace can't play the role of traction and physical therapy. To prevent cervical spondylosis, we should start with changing lifestyle and bad working posture, and then combine exercise, physical therapy and drugs for comprehensive treatment. "
Analysis:
Three reasons
The product is popular.
Why is this necklace popular with young people? Huang Guangmin analyzed that many young people, after suffering from cervical vertebra problems, felt that the problem was not serious or they were too busy to take care of their work, and they were unwilling to go to the hospital to queue up for registration. Moreover, this kind of necklace is not expensive and the style is more casual, which is why it is so popular.
