How to prevent cervical spondylosis in autumn As the weather gets colder, more and more people come to the hospital to see cervical spondylosis. According to relevant data, the incidence of cervical spondylosis is not only related to daily working and living habits, but also closely related to climate changes such as cold and humidity. Because most of the neck muscles are exposed, they are easily stimulated by cold weather, which makes local muscles shrink protectively, leading to increased neck tension, which is prone to neck strength imbalance and neck muscle tension spasm. Further compression of nerves and blood vessels will cause neck pain and discomfort. If the original neck is diseased, it is easier to induce cervical spondylosis. So, how to prevent cervical spondylosis in autumn and winter? 1. Keep your neck warm. When going out, try to wear high-necked clothes and scarves to keep your neck warm, so as to avoid getting cold in your neck and eliminate the inducing factors of cervical spondylosis. Keeping the neck warm can not only avoid neck fatigue, but also prevent the blood vessels in the head and neck from contracting due to cold, thus slowing down the blood circulation of the brain, which is beneficial to hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and insomnia. Used for cold neck, muscle soreness, etc. The cervical vertebra can be maintained by hot compress. 2. Correct bad posture in life and prevent chronic injuries. Chronic strain of neck and shoulder soft tissue is the pathological basis of cervical spondylosis. Bad posture in life is one of the main causes of chronic strain. For example, working at a desk for a long time and using a computer for a long time are the main causes of cervical spondylosis. Therefore, in addition to using various ergonomic equipment at work, after a period of continuous work, you should get up and exercise your neck to relax the tense neck muscles. 3. Use pillows reasonably. Pillow is a protective tool for cervical vertebra. An adult needs to spend 1/4 ~ 1/3 time sleeping every day. Therefore, the pillow must be suitable for the physiological requirements of the neck, and the highest part of the pillow supports the neck, rather than touching the pillow with the head as the focus. If you use pillows with inappropriate height and shape for a long time, it will easily lead to stiff neck and then develop into cervical spondylosis. 4. Strengthen physical exercise and choose some sports suitable for winter (such as indoor swimming and badminton). ), and strengthening muscle strength and physique can also prevent the occurrence of cervical spondylosis. At the same time, we should pay attention to the 24-hour cervical spine maintenance method, and prevention is better than no prevention. Instead of waiting for the long-term and tedious treatment after the cervical spine injury, it is better to take the initiative to let the cervical spine be carefully maintained by us. At seven o'clock in the morning, the ancients liked to wear long clothes, on the one hand, for etiquette, on the other hand, for health. No matter in winter or summer, a comfortable temperature should be given to the cervical spine. Even for the sake of beauty, prepare a shawl in the office to protect your neck and back. If you catch a cold occasionally, make yourself a bowl of soup for dispelling cold: brown sugar 2 spoon, 7 slices of ginger, decoct in water for 10 minute, and drink 1~2 times to dispel cold. 10: 005 minutes of cervical exercise can maintain the cervical spine well even in a crowded office. For example, take a break to practice cervical gymnastics: sit up straight, keep your whole body still, move one head with another, and bow your head, raise your head, turn left, turn right, stretch forward and retract; Circling clockwise and counterclockwise. Stick to it for 5 minutes at a time, and the movements should be gentle and soft.
