cervical spine problems caused by these muscles naturally require muscle loosening to achieve the purpose of treatment.
head clip
Pain symptoms:
htm 2head neck stiff, painful, heavy, sometimes it can be pulled and orbital pain .
Most doctors sometimes diagnose it as " cervical spondylosis " in clinical practice. It is easy to form a circular bulge around the spinous process of the 7th cervical vertebra, commonly known as shoulder pole lump . People who carry shoulder pole for a long time are prone to this disease, so it is also called " shoulder pole shoulder ". The common "rich bag" of
is also related to the head clip muscle.
Release method: chin shrinkage method.
. Sitting or standing, keeping your neck still and your chin retracted;
. Do it 10 times, return to the starting position, and repeat 3 sets.
Note: During the practice, , just simply withdraw your chin (let yourself have a double chin or a triple chin), and should not be leaned forward with your neck.
If you find it difficult to control, you can use your index finger to place your chin to guide you to complete this action.
neck clamp muscle
Pain symptoms:
His pain caused by neck clamp muscle starts at the base of the skull and passes upward through the side of the head to the back of the eyes. It feels like blood vessels pounding inside the skull or in the eyes. In addition, it can also cause blurred vision and dizziness. At the same time, the rotation of the neck will be limited, and the neck is often "stiff".
Release method: chin shrinkage method can also be used.
sterocleidomastoid muscle
Pain symptoms:
Symptoms of pain:
In addition to neck pain and fear of turning heads, it will also be manifested as headache and dizziness, tinnitus brain twitching, eye pain ear pain , blurred vision, but there are no abnormalities in various CT and other examinations.
Acute or chronic muscle overuse (the symptoms of chronic cough can also use the muscle's respiratory function) chronic postures that shorten muscles (such as head tip posture), wearing a tie or wearing a shirt with too tight collar, or trauma can cause damage to the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
Release method: Self-stretching.
You can press it yourself, pinch it with your hands to avoid sliding, find several particularly tight areas, and press one click to relax for 30 seconds to 1 minute!
suboccipital muscle group
suboccipital muscle group is located between the first and second cervical vertebra and the occipital bone, including four pairs of muscles, posterior rectus minor, rectus major, upper head oblique muscle, and inferior head oblique muscle.
Pain symptoms:
When the suboccipital muscle group is involved for a long time, it may lead to chronic sterile inflammation, swelling and hardness of the muscles and myofascial connective tissues, which in turn may cause muscle spasm, sclerosis and adhesions. When the carotid artery is stuck, it may cause insufficient blood supply to the brain and cause dizziness.
Therefore, when we experience dizziness from squatting to standing, hypotension is only an indirect reason, while vertebral artery is impeded by pressure. The occipital nerve is blocked and caused the occipital part to spread to the eyes, making people feel "heavy as if they were wrapped".
Release method:
Cross your hands and ten fingers on the back of the head to stretch the lower occipital muscles. Be sure to pay attention to keeping the entire upper body upright, just lower your head and feel the stretching of this group of muscles.
You can also choose to lie flat on the bed and hold your chin and put a towel roll under the neck. Feel the relaxation of the suboccipital muscles.
cervical hemispring muscle
Pain symptoms:
Histocardial muscle problems will cause a sensation of compression on the occipital nerve, which is the sensory nerve at the back of the head, which will cause numbness, acupuncture and burning pain on the scalp. In severe cases, you can't even lean on the pillow.
Hemispinal muscle strain is prone to headaches, and the flexion of the head and neck is restricted and the movements of flexion to the opposite side are often felt by cervical spine or migraine .
Release method:
. Stand or sit on a chair;
. Hold the back of the head with both hands;
. When exhale, slowly lower your head and hold it down for 30-60 seconds;
, and then slowly restore and stand upright.
trapezoidal muscle
trapezoidal muscle is a relatively large muscle, so in order to better analyze and solve the problem of trapezoidal muscle, a whole trapezoidal muscle is divided into upper trapezoidal muscle, middle trapezoidal muscle, and lower trapezoidal muscle.
Pain symptoms:
Symptoms of trapezoidal myasthenia on top:
. Migraine, the pain area can involve temple , the temporal and mandibular angle.
. Extreme pain in the cervical spine extends to the temporal part. Symptoms of trapezoidal myasthenia in
:
, pain in the spine and scapula or burning pain.
. The shoulder head is sore, and the cold is worsened.
. The outside of the arm feels cold or goosebumps. Symptoms of trapezoidal myasthenia under
:
, cervical pain.
. Deep pain and soreness in the shoulders.
Release method:
Right ear leans against the right shoulder, left shoulder is backward and down, raise your right hand over the top of your head, place your hand on the left zygomatic . This action can stretch the upper part of the trapezoid muscle, keep breathing for 30 seconds, and then change sides.
levator scapula
Pain symptoms:
levator scapula scapula injury is a common clinical neck and shoulder soft tissue injury type of disease. It is mostly caused by long-term bowing and long-term strain, and can also be caused by sudden injuries.
The main symptoms are neck and shoulder pain (mostly unilateral upper upper medial scapula and pain on the upper affected side of the neck) and back extension of the affected limb as the main symptoms.
trigger point of the levator scapula will cause pain at the junction of the neck and shoulders and the upper back. Palpation will reveal that the muscles near the upper scapula are stiff. In severe cases, scapula is even pulled high by the muscles, which looks like a shrugging. In this case, the muscles should be stretched quickly, and the effect is significant.
levator scapula muscles can also cause cervical vertebrae . You often use your neck and shoulders to clamp the phone, hold two elbows on the table, people who are impatient and shrugging easily, often have neck pain because the levator scapula muscles are too tight and involve the small joints of the cervical vertebrae.
Release method:
. Sit on the stool and keep the upper thigh parallel to the ground;
. Extrude the side hand and grab the edge of the stool and fix it;
. The head is reversed to the opposite side, keeping the head bent sideways;
. Exhale and gently rotate the head to the opposite side;
. Repeat 10 times for each group, repeating 2-3 groups.
occipital frontal muscle
occipital frontal muscle is a muscle on anatomy , which is divided into three segments, from front to back: frontal muscle -scalp myofascial-occipital muscle.
Pain symptoms:
occipital muscle is the basis for frontal muscle contraction, so some frequent micro-expressions may also cause occipital muscle strain. In addition, when we sleep on hard pillows for a long time, the continuous compression of the hard pillow can easily cause occipital muscle strain. The pain caused by occipital muscle strain is located on the sides and behind the head and sometimes passes through the head to the eyes.
mainly manifests as posterior headache, occipital bone pain, and forehead pain.
Release method:
The simple method is to simply use the index finger and middle finger to apply pressure to the parts of the back of the brain that feel uncomfortable. You can also lie on the ground, look at the ceiling, and put pressure on these areas with tennis pillows.
head long muscle
Pain symptoms:
head long muscle is a muscle that lifts or rotates the head. If there is no support, the head will sag, as if it is napping.
Release method:
Prone position , support your elbows on a solid mat, neck forward, and fully stretch downward, and feel like stretching forward, keep your chin close to your chest, keep stretching forward, slowly tilt your head up, gradually see the ceiling, and persist for 5-10 seconds, then slowly repeat this 5 times, twice a day.
Scallopian muscle
Pain symptoms:
Symptoms of injury to the scale muscle are generally manifested as neck pain, shoulder pain , pain around the shoulder blades, limited movement of the cervical spine, sounds when moving, often cervical spine stretching forward, shoulder discomfort, soreness and stiffness, etc.
Release method:
. As shown in the figure, you need to stretch your side hand to hold the bench on the same side;
. The opposite hand crosses the head and puts it in front and back of the affected ear, and flexes the head and neck to the opposite side (middle scale muscle)/The head and neck to the opposite side, extend back, and rotate the same side (anterior scale muscle)/The head and neck to the opposite side, bend forward, and rotate the opposite side (posterior scale muscle);
. Stretch when exhale, the force is moderate, and the force is facing above the opposite side, 3 groups each time, each group for 10-15 seconds.
