It is urgent to protect the cervical spine! ! !

If not managed, then will become numb and weak in the limbs, until they appear to be paralyzed to varying degrees. This is one of the most common orthopedic diseases that will eventually lead to human disability. Middle-aged and elderly people must be highly vigilant about .
Professor Song Dianwen, chief physician of the Department of Orthopedics of the First People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University, said that the cervical spine is the hub connecting the head and the body, but due to the slender anatomy and a large natural range of motion, the stability of the cervical spine is the lowest in the entire spine.
Long-term bowing will lead to an increase in the pressure of the cervical intervertebral disc, as well as the relaxation of the muscles and ligaments in the back of the cervical cervical spine, loss of elasticity, resulting in the disappearance of normal physiological lordosis of the cervical spine, and even cause "reverse flexion", further accelerating the degeneration of the cervical spine.
"We found in the experiment of cervical spondylosis animals that cut off part of the back of the neck of normal and healthy cervical vertebrates, causing the animals to be in a 'head-down state' for a long time, and severe disc degeneration will occur in just a few months."
