The correct sleeping position of cervical spondylosis is very common in this era. The occurrence of cervical spondylosis will make the whole person feel uncomfortable. Now the disease is getting younger and younger. How to relieve the pain when this kind of cervical spondylosis attacks? Below I share some methods that can correct the sleeping posture of cervical spondylosis, hoping to help everyone.

Correct sleeping position of cervical spondylosis 1 correct sleeping position of cervical spondylosis

1, the correct sleeping position

Generally speaking, we think it's best to keep our legs straight when sleeping. In fact, it's best to put a pillow and keep a certain arc.

2. Correct sleeping posture on your side

Similarly, when sleeping on the side, the head is slightly backward relative to the shoulders, and the hips and knees are slightly bent, which can better maintain the natural relaxation of the muscles.

3. Wrong sleeping posture that does not conform to the physiological position.

If the legs are too straight, the muscles and tissues will be pulled to some extent.

4, prone to unhealthy sleep.

Sleeping on your stomach is not conducive to breathing and keeping your neck natural.

Preventive methods of cervical spondylosis

1, correct sitting posture: To prevent the occurrence of cervical spondylosis, the most important thing is to sit correctly, relax the neck and shoulders, and maintain the most comfortable and natural posture. Office workers should also stand up and walk from time to time, exercise their necks and shoulders and relax their muscles.

2. Movable neck: After working for about 1 ~ 2 hours, the head and neck should be purposefully rotated back and forth, left and right several times, gently and slowly, so as to reach the maximum range of motion in all directions. So as to relieve the fatigue of the cervical joint.

3, looking up and farsightedness: looking at things at close range for a long time, especially those who are in a bowed state, will not only affect the cervical spine, but also easily cause visual fatigue and even induce ametropia. Therefore, whenever the desk is too long, you should look up into the distance for about half a minute. This can not only eliminate fatigue, but also be beneficial to the health care of cervical spine.

Every disease is terrible, so is cervical spondylosis. You must take the correct posture when sleeping, so as to relieve cervical spondylosis and avoid serious consequences. Moreover, we must master some preventive methods of cervical spondylosis in our lives, especially those who work in offices, and we must exercise regularly instead of keeping a posture.

The correct sleeping position of cervical spondylosis 2 experts: most of the online "cervical gymnastics" are unreliable, and patients with cervical spondylosis should receive targeted treatment.

With more and more white-collar workers suffering from cervical spondylosis, various health exercises and cervical exercises circulating on the Internet to prevent cervical spondylosis are increasingly favored by patients with cervical spondylosis. In this regard, He Erxing, director of the Department of Orthopaedics of the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College, pointed out that patients with cervical spondylosis should choose treatment methods according to different diseases and the severity of their illness, instead of relying on "cervical exercises" every day. When a person's body is in a prone position, the strength that the neck needs to bear is dozens or even hundreds of times that of standing, so doing prone exercise at ordinary times can exercise the neck muscles and prevent cervical diseases.

"Muscle fatigue" cervical spondylosis is the most common among white-collar workers.

According to He Erxing, patients who are generally diagnosed with cervical strain diseases are characterized by neck pain, but there are different types:

The first type is neck muscle fatigue, which is mostly caused by sedentary in daily life and work or improper posture for a long time.

The second kind belongs to ligament injury, which is caused by external force pulling on the cervical ligament. In this case, the patient will feel a certain part of the neck as painful as a knife.

The third category belongs to intervertebral disc diseases, including intervertebral disc strain, aging or degenerative diseases. Intervertebral disc is equivalent to a micro-motion joint, which is composed of hyaline cartilage plate, fibrous ring and nucleus pulposus, and distributed between vertebrae. If the posture is improper or pulled by external force for a long time, the annulus fibrosus will rupture, and the nucleus pulposus will come out from the rupture, which will compress the cervical nerve and lead to this disease. Patients with intervertebral disc diseases usually feel that the source of pain is deep, wide and radial.

The fourth category belongs to cervical vertebra bone strain, which is the most serious one and belongs to osteopathy injury. If it is serious, it needs surgery.

The degree of the above-mentioned cervical strain diseases varies from light to heavy. Usually the first type of cervical strain, namely "muscle fatigue type", is the most common among young white-collar workers. Generally, if such patients rest and adjust their posture in time, their bodies will adjust themselves to recover, and the pain will be relieved after a day or two. But if it is the latter three types of cervical diseases, you must go to the hospital to take relevant treatment methods. If targeted treatment measures are not taken in time, it will not only delay treatment, but even aggravate the condition.

Don't choose the "cervical gymnastics" circulating on the Internet at will.

He Erxing said that it is precisely because cervical spondylosis has gradually evolved into an "epidemic disease" among young people that various "health exercises" and "cervical exercises" circulating on the Internet to prevent cervical spondylosis are also varied. Out of herd mentality, many patients with cervical spondylosis often choose "self-therapy" at will regardless of their own condition-"meal exercise" can't work, so they change their pillows; If you can't change the pillow, try crawling therapy again; I stopped practicing yoga ... as a result, my condition became more and more serious.
