Bad living habits lead to premature aging of cervical spine.
The reason why cervical spondylosis patronizes us in advance is that our cervical spine always encounters some injuries intentionally or unintentionally every day, some of which can be avoided, while others have to be faced. What we can do is to know their causes in advance and prevent them in the first place.
Strain entanglement
There is no doubt that long-term chronic strain is the main cause of premature cervical spondylosis in young people. There is a saying in Chinese medicine called "five strains of injury", which means that if we maintain a certain state of activity for a long time, it will destroy the balance of the body and eventually damage our health. If you keep your head down for a long time and ignore the rest of the cervical spine, the neck muscles will be overtired, resulting in the body's gravity all pressing on the cervical spine. If you do this for a long time, it may induce cervical spondylosis.
Wet and cold sneak attack
Women are naturally cold, easy to get cold limbs, and are particularly sensitive to the cooling climate. Living in a cold environment, loving cold food, wearing too little and overworking are all easy to damage the yang of the human body, making the bones and muscles insufficient and cold and dampness easy to take advantage of. Wind, cold, humidity and other factors in the external environment can make the neck muscles spasm and small blood vessels contract, leading to blood circulation disorders in soft tissues, and over time, it will cause cervical spondylosis.
Bad posture
Chinese medicine decoding human spine has a unique physiological curve. If you violate the law and keep a posture for a long time, it will eventually lead to physical imbalance, poor blood circulation and damage to bones and muscles. For example, lying down and watching TV for a long time and taking a nap by car are all actions that damage the cervical spine.
Lack of organism
Malnutrition, depression, lack of activity and other factors may lead to physical decline, liver and kidney deficiency, tendon dystrophy. Once the kidney qi is insufficient, the waist and knees are weak, bone calcium is lost and degraded, and then excessive strain or cold and dampness will easily lead to problems in the cervical spine.
Several symptoms of cervical spondylosis
Once there is neck pain and stiff neck, some people are very nervous and worry that they must have cervical spondylosis. In fact, this situation is mostly caused by excessive fatigue of the cervical spine. Change the posture and let the cervical vertebra rest, which can generally relieve itself.
