Before, when I heard about cervical spondylosis , the first thing that comes to mind is the elderly with weak constitution. However, in recent years, people with cervical spondylosis have joined a large number of office workers.
The main reason is that office workers have always maintained the same position when facing the computer. Over time, their cervical spine will become over-fatigue and eventually develop cervical spondylosis.
In fact, our human cervical spine has normal physiological curvature , which will indeed affect the health of cervical spine in incorrect sitting posture;
Therefore, in order to reduce the occurrence of cervical spondylosis, all office workers are reminded to maintain the correct sitting posture at work. In addition, the following preventive measures must be taken.
1. Multiple activities
We also mentioned above that the reason why office workers have cervical spondylosis is to maintain the same posture for a long time, resulting in symptoms of stiff necks. In severe cases, cervical spondylosis will break out. Therefore, in order to prevent this situation, you must spend more time on weekdays to exercise your cervical spine;
For example, when working while slightly twisting your head, it is recommended to lower your head first, and then move left and right, front and back, so as to effectively improve cervical discomfort and reduce the degree of stiffness.
2. Keep warm
In fact, the cause of cervical spondylosis is not only the problem of sitting for a long time, but also the damage will be encountered if the warmth is not done properly;
Because people's necks are in a state of wind and sun all year round, they are relatively fragile, especially when the cold invades the neck may sometimes not be able to bear it, and a series of problems will arise.
So I suggest you not to ignore keeping the warmth of the cervical spine. For example, if the office is often turned on in summer, it is recommended to wear a shawl, and in winter, you can choose to wear a scarf.
3. Correct bad sleeping positions
Normally, if you use the incorrect sleeping position, it will cause the ligaments of the cervical spine to be in a tight state . should adjust the sleeping position at this time;
is recommended to focus on the side lying position and supplement the supine position, and the height and quality of the pillow will also have a great impact on the person's cervical spine. It is best to use a pillow with a height of about 10 cm. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure the elasticity of the pillow core.
4. Correct bad sitting posture
There are some office workers who work too long and want to relax, so they will be at their desk to read books or operate computers for a long time. However, over time, the normal curvature of the cervical spine will change curvature , and even cervical spine strain will occur;
Therefore, office workers must ensure the integrity of their spine during work, especially when they bow their heads or study for a long time, they must move the cervical spine part every 10 minutes to avoid damage to the cervical ligament.
5. Keep positive emotions
Someone once did a study that found that if a person is in a state of depression and boredom for a long time, he is prone to neurasthenia, and neurasthenia will affect the rest of the bones, joints and muscles;
So if you don’t want to be troubled by cervical spine problems, you should not only have the correct sitting posture, but also maintain an optimistic attitude.
In short, people who sit and work for a long time must protect our cervical spine on weekdays. Just like the methods mentioned above, you might as well try it more.
In addition, people with poor cervical spine can also massage their necks more. The method is relatively simple. Cross your fingers and place them behind your neck, and then gently massage the neck about 50 times. At this time, you will feel a slight heat at the back of your neck, which can also relieve the feeling of fatigue from working for a long time.
