1. Avoid bowing your head for a long time, such as working at your desk for a long time, looking down at your mobile phone for a long time, or driving for a long time, which will lead to long-term stress increase in the neck, cervical disc herniation, ligament hypertrophy, or hyperosteogeny, which will eventually lead to cervical spondylosis and aggravate its symptoms.
2. In daily life, we should pay attention to doing more neck exercises, exercise the core muscle strength of the neck, such as neck flexion and extension or neck resistance exercise, and usually do flat support or push-ups to increase the core muscle strength and stabilize the cervical spine, thus avoiding the occurrence of cervical spondylosis.
3. Patients should avoid bad living habits, such as smoking and staying up late, which may also aggravate the symptoms of cervical spondylosis. Patients should choose a suitable pillow when sleeping. It is suggested that patients choose a pillow of about 10cm, which can support the neck and pillow well, and avoid that the pillow is too high when sleeping, which will make the neck hang up and increase the stress on the cervical facet, thus aggravating the symptoms of cervical spondylosis. Correct sitting posture: Try to maintain a natural sitting posture, adjust the height of tables and chairs, avoid excessive head and neck leaning back or leaning forward and bending forward, and keep the head, neck, shoulders and chest in normal physiological curvature. Don't lie down or lie down and watch TV. 2. Movable neck: work at the desk for about 30 minutes, and purposefully turn the head and neck back and forth, left and right several times. Turn gently and slowly to achieve the maximum range of motion. Get up for a walk in 60 minutes. 3. Sleep mode: The pillow should not be too high, too hard or too low when sleeping. Pillow: the center should be slightly concave, and the neck should fully contact the pillow and keep it slightly backward to avoid hanging. Those who are used to lying on their side should keep their pillows shoulder-height. 4. Avoid injuries: Avoid and reduce acute cervical injuries, such as avoiding strenuous exercise, lifting heavy objects, and braking suddenly. 5. Cold and moisture-proof: Do not blow fans or air conditioners on the head and neck. Wear a scarf or a turtle neck in cold weather to prevent the neck from feeling cold. 6. Prevention of infection: actively treat neck infection and other neck diseases. 7. Acupoint massage: After sitting for a long time, you can press Fengchi, Dazhui, Shoujian and Tianzong with your fingers for 1-2 minutes each time. 8. Pinch the neck muscles: put the left (right) hand behind the neck, the thumb on the outside of the ipsilateral neck, and the other four fingers on the contralateral neck muscles. Put your hands together hard, lift the neck muscles and relax upward, and press them along Fengchi point to Dazhui point 20.
