"Oh, it's a pity. It's so small, but the cervical spine looks like 50 years old." The doctor sighed while watching the movie. Xiaoyue, 15 years old, is in her youthful age. She should have enjoyed a good time, but she has become a "mobile phone control".
Xiaoyue didn’t even talk about playing secretly at school, but after returning home during the holiday, she kept her camera away every day, and played for five or six hours. A few days ago, Xiaoyue was playing and found that she was a little dizzy and had a sore neck . She thought she had been using her phone to keep a posture for too long, so she went out to move, but didn't take it to heart.
However, the symptoms have become more and more serious recently. My father took her to the hospital for examination. However, after taking the film, the doctor said the beginning sentence, which made Xiaoyue’s father nervous in an instant. It turns out that Xiaoyue's film shows that her cervical vertebrae has become straighter, her physiological curves change, and slightly reverse arches, which are the characteristics of severe deformation of the cervical vertebrae.
Xiaoyue's father regretted it and complained that he did not interfere with Xiaoyue's bad habits in time, which led to her suffering from cervical spondylosis at a young age. In fact, Xiaoyue’s experience is not an isolated case. More and more young people suffer from cervical spondylosis due to bad habits. Parents and children will come and have a look.
1. Cervical spondylosis is getting younger and younger. These four bad habits are the culprit.
Related survey data shows that the incidence rate of cervical spondylosis in China is 17.3%. The data of breaks the "elderly label" about cervical spondylosis in the public's impression, and the trend of rejuvenation of cervical spondylosis is fully exposed.
Cervical spondylosis, also known as cervical syndrome , is a clinical syndrome caused by the herniation of cervical discs and the formation of compression of adjacent soft tissues on the vertebral artery, nerves and spinal cord.
Patients with cervical spondylosis often have symptoms such as shoulder and neck pain, numbness of the upper limbs, dizziness and headache, muscle atrophy, etc. In severe cases, they may be limited in movement due to spasms of both lower limbs, or even excretion incontinence and paralysis in bed.
The causes of cervical spondylosis include chronic strain accumulated by the cervical spine, degenerative lesions of the cervical spine, poor cervical spine posture, poor sleeping posture, lack of exercise, etc. Among them, poor cervical spine posture and sleeping posture are the main causes of the rejuvenation of cervical spondylosis.
, chronic strain
During the growth process, factors such as Improper activities, work burden, bad habits, physical labor and other factors may cause strain on the cervical spine, such as: muscle ligament damage, nucleus pulposus dehydration, fiber environment degeneration, acceleration of cervical spine degeneration, etc. These injuries accumulate to a certain extent and will develop towards cervical spondylosis.
, degenerative lesions
Degenerative lesions in the cervical disc is common in middle-aged and elderly people over 40 years old, and will lead to cervical spine instability and may cause bone hyperplasia. In severe cases, cervical intervertebral space stenosis or intervertebral foramen stenosis, which is also one of the causes of cervical spondylosis.
, cervical vertebrae bad posture
When performing various activities, improper cervical vertebrae will cause wear to the cervical vertebrae, such as playing with your mobile phone for a long time, Ge You lying to watch TV , etc., it may also cause cervical vertebrae to be deformed by maintaining bad posture for a long time, especially during growth and development.
. Bad sleeping posture
Some wrong postures during sleep can also damage the cervical spine or cause deformation of the cervical spine. For example: Raising the pillow can easily deform the cervical spine, Sleeping on the table can easily damage the cervical spine due to compression, so try to improve it.
, lack of exercise
, long-term lack of exercise is more likely to increase the chance of damage to the cervical spine due to poor posture and sleeping posture. On the other hand, it will also lead to lack of exercise in the cervical spine, affecting the bone marrow and nerves (the spinal cord will flow from top to bottom through 7 cervical vertebrae, reaching the thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, sacral vertebrae ), and may also induce cervical spondylosis.
Tip: Severe damage to the spinal cord of the neck may lead to paraplegia , so you must protect the cervical spine in daily life and exercise more.
2. What symptoms appear? You may determine that you have cervical spondylosis
Once cervical spondylosis occurs, it may affect various parts of the cervical spine and spinal cord, causing various symptoms. The symptoms of different types of cervical spondylosis are also different, so you must distinguish them clearly.
, cervical cervical spondylosis
cervical cervical spondylosis patients will experience stiffness and soreness of the neck muscles , which are often concentrated in shoulder neck, shoulder neck, scapular , and at the back of the neck. Imaging examination generally results of reverse cervical spine and straightening of physiological curvature.
cervical cervical spondylosis symptoms are mild. If not treated in time, long-term development may also become other more serious cervical spondylosis. Therefore, it can be regarded as a precursor or early stage of all types of cervical spondylosis, and will also be accompanied by neck muscle strain.
, vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis
vertebral artery is one of the blood supply channels of the brain. When bone hyperplasia occurs in the cervical spine and compresses the vertebral artery, it will cause vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis, which is a high incidence in people over 50 years old.
Patients may experience symptoms such as dizziness, dizziness, tinnitus, , dizziness (consciousness) due to insufficient blood supply to the brain. Sometimes they may be accompanied by headache, nausea and vomiting, chest tightness, , palpitations, and other symptoms.
, nerve root type cervical spondylosis
The spinal cord in the neck is connected to the shoulders, arms and other parts, and the source of these nerves is the nerve root in the spinal cord. When the nerve starts from the spinal cord and passes through the cervical vertebra, it is compressed due to lesions in the cervical vertebra. This situation is called nerve root cervical spondylosis.
Patients often have symptoms such as numbness, soreness, pain, and restricted movement . Wherever the affected nerve connections are connected, the symptoms are concentrated. Once the cervical spondylosis is severe and the nerves are affected, the sensory and motor ability in many parts of the body will be hindered.
, , cervical spondylosis,
, cervical spondylosis, is often caused by increased osteophytes, herniated discs, cervical spinal canal stenosis, etc. Once the spinal cord is damaged, it may lead to irreversible functional damage or symptoms.
Patients often experience weak soles, clumsy movements of both lower limbs, abnormal excretion and incontinence, male sexual dysfunction, sense of shackles in the chest and abdomen, inflexible muscle atrophy of both upper limbs, etc.
, sympathetic cervical spondylosis
Degenerative lesions of the cervical spine stimulate sympathetic nerve inside the surrounding tissue, causing sympathetic cervical spondylosis. Patients often feel complex and difficult to express themselves, including dizziness and headache, sleep disorders, , upset, nausea and vomiting, tinnitus and panic and other feelings.
3. How to protect the cervical spine in daily life?
Once any symptoms appear in the cervical spine, they must be checked in time and treated actively to avoid serious consequences. However, cervical spondylosis can be large or small. The best way is to provide daily protection to reduce the risk of the disease!
. Do not hurt the cervical spine: stay away from bad postures
Improve daily walking, sitting and lying postures, and try to avoid stressing the cervical spine or poses that may damage the cervical spine. On the one hand, you should pay attention to the place and improve the quality of sleep. On the other hand, you should pay attention to the sleep posture and choose a pillow that is suitable for height to avoid chronic strain on the cervical spine.
. Do what you can and maintain a certain amount of exercise
Physical labor must be done within your ability to avoid causing damage to the body or causing chronic strain. It is also recommended to maintain a certain amount of exercise, especially for cervical spine protection activities, and do more.
, 3 movements to relieve cervical fatigue
Hunming Hospital Orthopedics Cui Le, a nurse in the orthopedics, introduced: 3 activities can help relieve and improve cervical fatigue.
First, Neck compete with , right hand is on the chest and left hand is behind, push the palm to the left, turn the head to the right to the limit, hold for 3-5 seconds, and then change position and do it again.
Second, Head palm resistance , back of your hands behind your neck, cross your fingers, force your hands forward, and force your head backward, hold for 3-5 seconds.
In daily life, people's various life activities will inevitably affect the cervical spine. However, because the cervical spine is hidden inside the body, it is not so intuitive, and some chronic strains are invisible. Over time, minor illnesses become larger and more important, and the gains are not worth the loss.
Therefore, it is recommended that everyone pay attention to protecting the cervical spine and do their physical labor within their capacity. At the same time, if there is any abnormality in the cervical spine, it is necessary to check and treat it in time. #组子子子子子子子子子# #Guarding the Silver Age World#
