Modern society has a high degree of informatization, and a lot of work needs computers to complete. When we sit at our desk day after day and work in a fixed posture for dozens of hours, the muscles, joints and ligaments next to our cervical vertebrae will become stiff and deformed, which will lead to long-term cumulative damage to the cervical vertebrae, and eventually lead to unbearable cervical spondylosis and even lumbar spondylosis. In order to relieve cervical pain, you can try the following methods.

First, change a comfortable pillow.

Cervical pain is not a disease, it hurts like hell. As a senior patient with cervical spondylosis, I really felt the pain of cervical spondylosis for more than ten years. Since I knew the importance of pillows to patients with cervical spondylosis, I changed several pillows. Until the end, I thought the latex pillow was the best for me, so I fixed it and never changed it. If your cervical spondylosis is also very serious, I suggest you try to change a pillow first. Different thickness, different softness and different materials will help you find the one that suits you best.

Of course, when choosing a pillow, you should avoid the pillow being too high. The center of a suitable pillow should be slightly concave, with a height of 12~ 16cm. The neck should be placed on the pillow, not suspended, so as to keep the head slightly backward. People who are used to lying on their side should have their pillows shoulder-high.

Second, reduce computer time.

Many people will say that this can't be controlled, of course I know. But I later developed a good habit: setting an alarm clock. According to the working intensity, set an alarm clock every 10 minute or 30 minutes. When the alarm clock rings, stop your work immediately, walk around, or go to the toilet and exercise your cervical spine, which can temporarily relieve the stiffness of the cervical spine. Also, it is important to change bad working and living habits, such as reading in bed and watching TV.

Third, play badminton.

When playing badminton, I often look up at the ball, which can relieve the tense neck muscles while entertaining and strengthen my body. You can play more when you are free. A friend with severe cervical spondylosis told me that after she insisted on playing badminton, the cervical spondylosis was much better, so I started playing badminton now. I hope that insisting on exercise can alleviate my pain.

Fourth, insist on shoulder and neck exercise.

On the recommendation of my friend, I downloaded a KEEP software with special shoulder and neck exercises. Every time I can't stand the pain of office work, I will open the APP and do a 10 minute shoulder and neck exercise with the coach's rhythm. Needless to say, it really helps. In addition, there are many small ways to relieve it, such as cervical "rice" exercises and writing with cervical vertebrae. It is important to insist on not fishing for three days and drying the net for two days. In this case, no matter how good the method is, it will not work.
