Daily maintenance methods for shoulders and neck:

1, suitable pillow

One third of life is spent in bed, and the hardness of pillow has a direct impact on cervical spine. The best pillow should be able to support the physiological curve of the cervical spine and keep it straight. The pillow should be elastic, and the pillow core should be kapok, hollow high elastic cotton or chaff.

Like to lie on your back, the height of the pillow is about 5 cm (the height after compression); I like to lie on my side, and my height is about 10 cm. In supine position, it is best to pad the lower edge of the pillow on the upper edge of the scapula to avoid making the neck empty.

In fact, the real name of the pillow should be "pillow neck". Improper pillow often causes stiff neck, and repeated stiff neck is often a precursor to cervical spondylosis, so it should be diagnosed and treated in time. Also pay attention to the pillow mat, which is made of straw. One bamboo mat is too cold and the other is too hard, so it's better not to use it.

Step 2 keep your neck warm

Cold stimulation of the neck will make the muscles and blood vessels spasm and aggravate the stagnant pain in the neck. In autumn and winter, it is best to wear high-necked clothes; The weather is a little hot, so you should pay attention to prevent your neck and shoulders from catching cold when you sleep at night; In hot season, the air conditioning temperature should not be too low.

Step 3 drink hot ginger tea

It warms the body and relieves the feeling of pain. A sip of hot tea can make the temperature rise from the mouth and spread to the neck, shoulders, arms and even the upper back. And ginger can relieve muscle pain, and the effect is better.

4. Correct posture

The main cause of cervical spondylosis is incorrect posture in work and study. Good posture can reduce fatigue and avoid injury. Bowing your head for too long will cause muscle fatigue, cervical disc aging and chronic strain, which will lead to a series of symptoms.

The best posture for desk work is to keep your neck upright and lean forward slightly, without twisting or leaning; If the working hours exceed 1 hour, you should take a break for a few minutes and do some neck exercises or massage; It is not advisable to lean your head against the bedside or sofa armrest to read or watch TV.

Step 5 prevent damage

Neck injuries can also induce this disease. In addition to paying attention to posture, riding a fast vehicle, encountering sudden braking and throwing your head forward, "whiplash-like" injuries will occur.

Therefore, pay attention to protect yourself, don't doze off in the car, twist your body properly when sitting in your seat, and lean forward; Cervical spine injury should be avoided in sports competitions; In the acute attack of cervical spondylosis, the activity of cervical vertebra should be reduced, especially to avoid turning around quickly, and neck brace should be used for protection if necessary.
