In recent years, with the development of science and technology and the popularization of mobile communication technology, the speed of mobile phone upgrading is accelerating. However, while people enjoy the convenience brought by science and technology, their bodies are also under constant attack. Many young people are prone to cervical spondylosis when they play with mobile phones for a long time. So how should cervical vertebra disease ache alleviate?
The "bow head clan" has become the main force of cervical spondylosis
Foshan traditional Chinese medicine hospital once treated a 12-year-old patient with cervical spondylosis. According to the MRI, the student's brother had lost the physiological curvature of the cervical vertebrae, and the cervical vertebrae retreated to the appearance of 30 or 40 years old in advance. The culprit was long-term bowing and playing with mobile phones.
Cervical spondylosis, also known as cervical syndrome, is due to chronic strain of the cervical spine, acute trauma and senile degenerative changes of the spine. The degeneration of the cervical intervertebral disc and joints leads to pathological changes of the cervical spine joints, secondary damage and blood vessels, nerve roots, spinal cord or sympathetic nerves, resulting in a variety of clinical symptoms.
According to Zhang Shengqiang, the causes of cervical spondylosis in the past were generally occupational habits and lack of exercise. But in recent years, the "bow party" has also become a major "main force" of cervical spondylosis.
Long term use of mobile phones, computers and other bad habits to keep the cervical spine in a forward bending position, which is the opposite of the physiological curvature of the human cervical spine. In the long run, the physiological curvature of the cervical spine may be lost or even reversed, the degeneration of the cervical spine will accelerate, and the spinal cord and nerve will be compressed.
Generally speaking, cervical spondylosis will appear in the early stage of neck pain and pain, hand numbness, headache and poor sleep quality and other symptoms. At first, it may only be muscle strain, but if not adjusted in time, it may further aggravate and cause changes in spine, including changes in cervical curvature.
It needs to pay more economic and time cost to reverse cervical spondylosis. Therefore, it is recommended that we do a good job of "treating the disease before it is cured", or early diagnosis and treatment, and timely medical treatment if symptoms are found, so as to kill the disease in its infancy.
Get cervical spondylosis, 5 movements to help recovery
Fu Qiang suggested that healthy people or people with mild symptoms in cervical vertebrae and other parts can do the following five actions at home to help the body recover itself.
1. Neck back stretching self traction exercise: lie on the back of the bed, head to the edge of the bed, slowly move the head to the outside of the edge of the bed, the neck is about the second cervical vertebra, lean on the edge of the bed, relax, keep for 15-20 minutes, then slowly move the head and neck back to the bed, turn around and lie on your side, and slowly sit up with your hands on your body. It is suggested that you set an alarm clock to remind yourself before you do it, so as to avoid sleeping in the past when you do this action. Keeping this action for a long time may be harmful to your health.
2. Back stretching five point practice: this action is similar to hip bridge, but different from it. When exercising, lie on the bed with knees bent first, the distance between feet is slightly larger than shoulder width and slightly separated to both sides; then separate arms to both sides, bend elbows and clench fists, and fist up; Then, the hips are pushed up, with the head as a fulcrum and the hands of both feet as another fulcrum. The hips are lifted up, and the middle and lower backs and thighs are also lifted up along the belt, until the whole trunk is basically in a straight line from the shoulder to the knee, and roughly perpendicular to the lower leg. During the whole process, the feet, shoulders, upper back and arms are still, and the calves cannot be moved actively; the buttocks are forced to restore slowly and controlled.
3. Flying swallow training: lie on the bed, dry both sides of the body with your arms, straighten your legs, and then lift your head, upper limbs and lower limbs up with force. Do not bend your elbows and knees. Always keep them straight, like flying swallow, and exercise several times. If you think this movement is too difficult, you may not lift your legs.
4. Plank support practice: you should be very familiar with it. There is no demonstration here. When doing plank support, we should use the strength of abdomen to keep the back, waist and feet in line, and the waist should not be loose or collapsed.
5. Pull the horizontal bar to practice: simple hanging the horizontal bar can improve the side curvature of the spine, disc herniation and other problems. It is recommended that you do it once or twice a day, and stay for 3-30 seconds each time depending on the energy situation of the human body.
At present, the orthopaedic center of Qifu hospital has a standardized comprehensive treatment room, which can effectively help patients with cervical spondylosis to carry out rehabilitation exercises. The public may also wish to practice these movements more at home. "The key is to play less mobile phones as much as possible, instead of using & lsquo; low headed & rsquo;, and keep the normal physiological curve of the spine. 'Director Fu Qiang reminds me.
