Cervical
spondylosis is a common disease among office workers. Because the office
workers sit in front of the computer for a long time every day, causing a high
incidence of cervical spondylosis, which is very unfavorable for the health
work of office workers, how should we prevent
and treat
cervical spondylosis? The following small series will introduce you to the
seven small tricks.
Cervical Spondylosis-Thecarekart
We all needs to work for a long period of time due to work
reasons, so that the cervical vertebrae are in the flexion position or certain
specific positions for a long time, so that the neck muscles are in a state of
non-coordinating stress for a long time, and the muscles and ligaments of the
back of the neck are vulnerable to pulling and straining, which causes the
occurrence of the neck. Cervical spondylosis.
Orthopedic experts suggest that a fixed posture cannot be
maintained for more than one hour. After one hour, you should move your neck
and shoulders and do exercises. If you take a long time, it will affect the
health of the cervical spine.
Our sitting posture in the office is also very strange. Many
people are not only comfortable if they are sitting, but also one of the
culprits of
cervical
spondylosis.
The
correct
sitting position should be to keep the neck upright, so that the head has
strong support, the shoulders naturally hang down, the elbows are bent at 90
degrees; the back is straight, the upper body is 90 degrees to the thigh; the
thigh and the calf are 90 degrees, and Keep your feet on the ground.
Sleep is very important for the health of office workers. In
a healthy lifestyle, at least one-third of the time to sleep is given, so it is
very important to sleep well. For sleep, the pillow is also a very important
factor. If the pillow is not well chosen, it will not only aggravate cervical
spondylosis but also affect our health.
Orthopedic experts say that the physiological curve of the
normal cervical vertebra is anterior convex. If the pillow is too low, the head
and neck are excessively reclined, so that the lordosis is increased, which is
not only prone to fatigue due to excessive tension, but also causes chronic
damage. However, if the pillow is too high, the head and neck are excessively
flexed, which not only makes the muscles and ligaments behind the vertebral
body easy to strain but also causes or aggravates cervical spondylosis.
Therefore, regardless of whether you have cervical
spondylosis, you should pay attention to maintaining the physiological position
of the cervical lordosis.
The ideal pillow height should be about 6-10 cm, soft and
hard to be moderate, the most important thing is that the shape should conform
to the normal physiological curve of the neck, preferably the middle is low,
the ends are high, the neck-shoulder is slightly higher, the opposite edge Low
saddle-like shape, also known as the B-shaped pillow.
In addition to
choosing
the right pillow, sleeping position is also very important. Lying flat is
the most effective way to prevent and improve cervical spondylosis. Side-lying
or sleeping on the side, pressing your arm under your head will increase the
burden on the cervical spine.
