Health care: White-collar workers are the most vulnerable to cervical spondylosis, revealing how to prevent it.
Relevant surveys show that 83% people who use computers often feel tired eyes, and 64% people often feel backache. In addition to eye fatigue and dry eye, another major harm brought by computers is the impact on lumbar vertebrae and cervical vertebrae. When using the computer, the cervical spine is in flexion state most of the time, and it is easy to cause cervical degeneration in the same posture for a long time. In addition, the harm of long-term use of computers to the lumbar spine can not be ignored. When a person bends forward in a sitting position, the force will further increase. Usually, when using a computer, most people will sit forward, which will obviously increase the pressure on the lumbar intervertebral disc and other structures of the lumbar spine. Experts say that the continuous increase of pressure will lead to chronic injury of intervertebral disc, and after the injury, there will be a repair reaction, and the formed vegetation will protrude backward. If the nerve root is compressed, the symptoms of spinal cord and nerve root will be compressed and stimulated, which is cervical spondylosis.

There are two treatments for cervical spondylosis.

Once there is something wrong with the cervical spine, then movement, feeling and blood vessels are all involved. As long as the dislocation of cervical joint is corrected, the strain of paravertebral soft tissue is cured and the neck muscles are strengthened, the symptoms caused by cervical spondylosis can be improved.

(1) Massage hyperthermia. For muscle spasm and stiffness, you can do some massage and hyperthermia (or apply with hot water bag) to relieve muscle and blood vessel spasm, eliminate inflammation and edema of nerve root, spinal cord and its surrounding soft tissues, and reduce adhesion, thus improving the symptoms of cervical spondylosis.

(2) Functional rehabilitation training. This kind of rehabilitation training can correct the abnormal arrangement or deformity of cervical vertebrae. For example, flying swallow and arch bridge exercises can enhance the muscle strength of neck, shoulder and back muscles, stabilize cervical vertebra, improve the function of intervertebral joint, increase the range of motion of cervical vertebra, reduce muscle spasm and eliminate discomfort such as pain.

No matter what type of cervical spondylosis, the basic principle of its treatment is to follow the basic principle of non-surgical treatment first and ineffective surgery later. This is not only due to the pain caused by surgery itself and easy to cause injuries and complications, but more importantly, most cervical spondylosis can be stopped, improved or even cured through non-surgical treatment. Long-term adherence to exercise therapy can achieve the purpose of consolidating curative effect and reducing recurrence.
