Prevention and attention to cervical vertebrates
In modern societies, the incidence of cervical vertebrates increases year by year as people change their way of life and work, causing many discomfort and suffering to patients. It is important to understand the prevention of cervical vertebrates and the key points of attention in life to protect the health of the cervical vertebrates.
What’s with the vertebrate?
Cervical vertebrate disease is a clinical syndrome of a series of functional impairments resulting in the oppression of the cervical vertebrate, nerve roots or vertebrate artery due to, inter alia, long-term vertebrate labour, bone growth, and intervertebrae. Patients often suffer from neck pain, rigidity, ailments such as numbness, infirmity and serious effects on walking balance and vision.
Preventive measures against cervical vertebrates
Stay in the right position.
Whether you sit or stand, you keep the natural curve of the spine. In terms of sitting, highly appropriate seats with good waist support are selected, so that the eyes are flattened to the computer screen, avoiding long periods of low or upside down. While standing, your feet are wide with your shoulders, and your chest is strong, so do not bend around on your back. Especially for those who work for long periods of time, such as office staff, students, etc., each time they work or study (recommendations 40 – 50 minutes) they get up and move and relax their neck muscles.
Choose the appropriate pillow and mattress.
The height and hardness of pillows have a significant impact on cervical health. The appropriate pillow should be able to maintain the physiological precipice of the cervical vertebrae, generally with a pillow up to the height of one of its own fists, and about a half a fist up to the side. The mattresses cannot be too soft or too hard, too soft to support the spinal column, and too hard to allow for an uneven distribution of physical stress, all of which may increase the cervical burden.
Increased neck muscle exercise.
Strong neck muscles can better support the cervical vertebrae and reduce the risk of cervical vertebrae injury. Simple neck exercise methods include neck stretching, rotation, and contusions. For example, slowly tilts the head to one side, stretches the neck muscles and maintains the other side in 15-30 seconds; or slowly turns the head and turns in the direction of a clockwise and a counterclockwise. In addition, swimming, especially by frogs, has had a very good effect on the neck muscles, as the head needs constant repositioning during swimming, which can strengthen the neck muscles.
Attention in life.
Avoid a neck wound.
Care should be taken to protect the neck in the event of intense movement or some potentially dangerous activity. For example, a helmet should be worn while riding a bicycle in order to avoid an impact on the neck during a brake, and in the conduct of a ball-like exercise, attention should be paid to the range of actions and to preventing a sudden reversal of injuries on the neck. In everyday life, care must also be taken to avoid some unintended neck lesions, such as a sudden twist of head to get something.
Keep your neck warm.
The cold can constrict the neck muscles, which can affect the blood circulation of the neck, increase the risk of cervical vertebrate disease or exacerbate the already existing cervical vertebrate symptoms. In cold weather, a scarf should be worn to avoid direct exposure of the neck to the cold air. In the air-conditioning room, no air-conditioning winds should be allowed to blow straight through the neck.
Control of the time of use of electronic products
The long-term use of electronic products such as mobile phones and tablets is one of the major reasons for the rejuvenation of cervical vertebrates. When looking down at these devices, the pressure on the cervical vertebrae increases significantly. We need to minimize the time of continuous use of electronics and, when used, to raise the equipment to the same level as the eyes and to reduce the downside.
In short, prevention of cervical vertebrates and attention to life details are key to protecting our cervical vertebrate health. It is hoped that everyone will develop a good habit of keeping the cervical vertebrae from the pains and health and vitality of the body.
