Cervical spondylosis is mainly a series of clinical syndromes caused by long-term strain of cervical spine, hyperosteogeny, or disc herniation and ligament thickening, which causes compression of cervical spinal cord, nerve root or vertebral artery and leads to dysfunction. The cervical vertebra is located between the head, chest and upper limbs. It is the segment with the smallest volume, the largest activity, the highest activity frequency and the heaviest load, so it is easy to degenerate due to various loads, strains and even trauma. Being in a posture for a long time, working at the desk, operating the computer, looking down at the mobile phone, high pillow, etc. It is easy to cause neck muscle strain and cervical degeneration.
The four signals of cervical spondylosis must be known!
How can I know if my cervical vertebra is healthy? In daily life, the body has four small signals, suggesting that there may be problems with the cervical spine.
1, working at the desk for a long time, dizzy and uncomfortable;
2. Unexplained shoulder and neck pain and arm numbness;
3. The problem of "deviation" often occurs when walking in a straight line normally;
4. Unexplained dizziness, dizziness, tinnitus, numbness, tachycardia, precordial pain and other symptoms often occur.
If one of these four signals is in line with yourself, we should pay special attention to protecting cervical vertebrae and preventing cervical spondylosis!
Symptoms of neck and back pain appear in daily life, so we should be alert to the occurrence of cervical spondylosis, which is an early warning signal of the disease. What it wants to tell you is that your cervical vertebra should rest. Only neck and shoulder discomfort, mostly caused by strain myofascitis. If it is not controlled in the early stage, it will cause chronic pain and relapse easily, leaving a "root cause".
Even more frightening, it is also found in medicine that cervical spondylosis can cause at least 70 diseases in the whole body. The following are some common diseases.
foolish
Dizziness is a common symptom in patients with cervical spondylosis of vertebral artery type. The patient's posture changes due to neck stretching or rotation, which induces dizziness. Vertigo caused by ischemic lesions of vestibular nucleus usually lasts for a short time and disappears after a few seconds to a few minutes. At the time of onset, patients may have mild absences and dyskinesia, which is characterized by unstable walking or leaning to one side; Vertigo caused by ischemic labyrinthine lesions with unconscious disorder.
visual disorder
Poor eyesight, swollen eyes, fear of light, tears, etc. , and may even be blind.
Emotion is completely out of control
Paralysis is an irreversible pathological change.
Some cervical spondylotic myelopathy or cervical spondylotic myelopathy mixed with other types cannot be cured systematically and well, so the cause cannot be eradicated. With the development of the disease, the symptoms of patients will become more and more serious, and irreversible lesions such as spinal degeneration and liquefaction will appear, so paralysis is inevitable.
First, the point of stiff neck
Location: On the back of the hand, between the metacarpals opposite to the middle finger and forefinger, starting from the ends of the two phalanges, the outward thumb width is the stiff neck point. If you usually have a stiff neck, you can also press this position, especially some people often have stiff neck, which is a precursor to cervical spondylosis.
Massage method: use the ventral side of the index finger or middle finger to press back and forth with great strength, as long as you feel sore. Can be used for treating stiff neck and arm pain, and has obvious effects on treating scapulohumeral periarthritis and cervical spondylosis.
2. Houxi point
Location: fist clenched, the root of the little finger, and the raised horizontal stripes are Houxi point.
Massage method: press your fingertips for five minutes until you feel sore. There is a very simple way to make a fist and linger on the table all the time. Massage this acupoint can regulate headache, neck pain, neck sprain, tinnitus, deafness and so on. It plays an auxiliary role in the treatment of cervical spondylosis.
Thirdly, Waiguan point.
Location: The wrist is horizontal, and the position about three fingers wide is Waiguan point.
Massage method: press this position for about 5 minutes, and you will feel sore. Can relieve headache, migraine, cheek pain, red eye, tinnitus, deafness, elbow pain, arm pain and so on. Regular massage of this position can relieve cervical spondylosis and is also effective for scapulohumeral periarthritis.
1. As long as you have cervical spondylosis, it means that your blood is less and your blood is cold. You should avoid all cold food, eat more warm food, and avoid cold to keep warm.
2. It is the best way to prevent cervical spondylosis if you can stick to hitting the wall with your back for half an hour every day while supplementing blood with diet therapy.
3. If the cervical vertebra is uncomfortable, it is best to soak your feet with your hands and arms every night. After the whole body is feverish, tapping the left and right neck and shoulders 100 times or more will obviously relax the neck and shoulders.
When you feel neck and shoulder discomfort or stiff neck, you can press the neck and shoulder area on your ear to find the most painful point. You'd better ask someone else to press it for you, which is powerful and effective.
Both ears should be pressed on this acupoint for 5 ~ 10 minutes, and the patients with stiff neck can be relieved at that time, and the discomfort of cervical spine will also be alleviated.
