The young man Xiaoliang lives in Bayi Road, Xigang District. In the early morning of September 26, when Xiaoliang got up and brushed his teeth, he felt uncomfortable in his throat and coughed a few times. At this time, he heard a "click" sound on his neck, and then his neck could no longer move, and there was also a sense of pain. As long as he turns his head slightly, lowers his head or raises his head, his neck will be severely painful and his movements will be restricted.
What's wrong with this? After the doctor checked that Xiaoliang's cervical spine joint was misaligned.
learned the result. He felt incredible. "How can cough cause the cervical spine to have problems?" In response, Tian Jing, the attending physician of the physiotherapy clinic of the 967th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force, said that Xiaoliang lacked physical exercise and worked at the desk for a long time, and he had problems with the cervical spine. He suddenly coughed hard, causing the neck to twist significantly, forming a pull on the local muscles, causing the original condition to worsen.
Tian Jing said that from the anatomy of the cervical spine, it includes the vertebrae and intervertebral disc. The vertebrae have upper and lower joint processes, and they bite together like gears. The external force of cough causes joints to become disordered, the upper and lower joint processes are misaligned, blood vessels and nerves are stuck, and pain leads to limited movement.
It is not asymptomatic and should not be taken care of.
During the examination, the spinous process of the trabecular cervical vertebrae was crooked. The doctor performed a local reduction for him, and the symptoms of restricted neck movement were significantly improved.
Tian Jing said that for cervical spondylosis , the inducing factors include improper head and neck posture during sleep, poor sitting posture when working and studying, cold neck catching a cold, sudden rotation of the neck, etc.
In fact, many patients do not have discomfort symptoms, but they cannot take it lightly. Sometimes a "cup spirit" will lead to the manifestation of the disease. The weather is getting colder and colder now. Citizens with poor cervical spine can wear silk scarves or scarves, or wear high-neck clothes, pay attention to keeping their necks warm.
On the other hand, citizens try not to always lower their heads to study and work, so as not to increase the burden on the cervical spine. They can do health exercises for the neck, such as writing the word "ri" on the neck, which can play a role in moving joints, or practicing traditional Chinese medicine eight-section brocade , which can also play a certain conditioning role.
Adhere to the four types of people, please do not be "coughed"
Previously, a 26-year-old woman in this city suffered a rib fracture due to a cough while on her way to work. The cause is that a woman has been coughing for more than a month. Long-term coughing causes the muscles related to the ribs to be in a state of tension, and it also causes weaker bone strength. When the woman coughed, her muscles contracted violently, and she "broken" her ribs. This newspaper has reported on this matter.
Doctors say that cough is a natural physiological reflex phenomenon and usually does not cause harm to the human body. However, people with small joint disorders in the spinal column, osteoporosis, , obesity and long-term cough should pay more attention.
For patients with small spinal joint disorders, sudden external forces can aggravate the condition. Some patients in this city once "losed their waists" due to coughing. People with osteoporosis have relatively low rib strength and are at risk of injury when muscle contractions. When obese people cough violently, due to the high abdominal fat, the regulation function of body cavity pressure changes is weakened, and the chest pressure acts on the ribs, forming a safety risk.
