In recent years, the development of science and technology and the popularization of mobile communication technology have brought about earth-shaking changes in people's lives. However, the widespread use of mobile phones seems to be a double-edged sword. It brings great convenience to life while also using mobile phones for a long time. The incidence of cervical spondylosis continues to increase, causing a series of related complications.
At the Opening Ceremony of Guangdong Qifu Hospital & Foshan City Hospital Orthopaedics Center and a large-scale public consultation media meeting, Zhang Shengqiang, the director of the Department of Massage at Foshan City Hospital, once again sounded the alarm for the analysis of cervical spondylosis, and the director of Orthopaedics Center of Blessing Hospital. Strong is providing new ideas for self rehabilitation of cervical spondylosis.
'Lower head' into the main force of cervical spondylosis
Foshan City Hospital had treated a patient with cervical spondylosis who was only 12 years old. A magnetic examination showed that the student had already suffered a loss of cervical lordosis. The cervical spine advanced into a three- or forty-year-old appearance, and the culprit was the culprit. It is a long-term bow to play with mobile phones.
Cervical spondylosis, also known as cervical spondylosis, is caused by chronic strain of the cervical spine, acute trauma and senile degenerative spondylolisthesis, degeneration of cervical intervertebral discs and intervertebral joints leading to pathological changes in cervical spinal joints, secondary damage and Blood vessels, nerve roots, spinal cord, or sympathetic nerves cause a variety of clinical symptoms.
Zhang Shengqiang, director of the view that the previous incentive for cervical spondylosis is generally occupational habits and lack of exercise. But in recent years, 'the bow party' has also become a major 'cervical spondylosis'.
Long-term use of mobile phones, computers and other bad habits to maintain the cervical spine in the forward flexion position, which is contrary to the physiological curvature of the human cervical spine. Over time, the physiological curvature of the cervical spine may be lost or even anti-bow, cervical degeneration, spinal cord, nerve compression.
In general, early cervical spondylosis may present with sore neck, hand numbness, headache and poor sleep quality. It may only be a muscle strain at first, but if it is not adjusted in time, it may further increase, causing changes in the spine, including Changes in cervical curvature.
The reversal of cervical spondylosis requires a relatively large amount of economic and time cost. Therefore, it is recommended that you do a good job of 'prevention from disease', or early diagnosis and early treatment, and seek medical attention when symptoms are discovered to kill the disease in the bud.
Got cervical spondylosis, 5 motions to help rehabilitation
Fu Qiang suggested that people with mild symptoms, such as healthy people or cervical spine, can usually do the following five actions at home to help the body recover from itself.
1. Neck back extension self traction exercises: Rest on the bed, head towards the edge of the bed, slowly move the head to the edge of the bed, the neck is about the second cervical spine against the edge of the bed, relax, keep for 15-20 minutes, then slowly move the head and neck back to bed, turn sideways With your hands propped up and slowly sit up. It is recommended that you set an alarm clock before you remind yourself to avoid sleeping when doing this action. Keeping this movement for a long time may be unhealthy.
2. Extend the five-point practice: This exercise is similar to buttocks, and it is different. When exercising, knees are supine on the bed, the distance between the legs is slightly larger than the shoulder width, and they are separated slightly to the sides; then the arms are separated on both sides, and the elbow and the fist are fists, and the fists are upward; The hips force upwards, with the head as a fulcrum, and the two hands as the other fulcrum. The hips are lifted up upwards. The mid-lower back and thighs are also lifted upwards, until the whole torso is basically in a line from the shoulder to the knee. Straight line, and approximately perpendicular to the lower leg. During the entire process, the feet, shoulders and upper back, both arms remain stationary, the lower leg can not be actively moved; buttocks force, slow and controlled reduction.
3. Swallow-style practice: Rest on the bed, put your arms on both sides of your body, straighten your legs, and lift your head, upper and lower limbs upwards. Do not flex your elbows and knees. Always keep straight, like a flying swallow, and exercise a few times. Times. If you feel that this action is too difficult, you can not lift the lower limbs.
4. Plate support exercises: Everyone should be very familiar with this, not to do demonstrations here. When doing flat panel support, be careful to use the strength of the abdomen to keep the back, waist and feet in a straight line, the waist can not be loose or squat.
5. Pull the horizontal bar to practice: Simply hanging a horizontal bar, can improve the scoliosis, disc herniation and other issues, it is recommended that you do once or twice a day, depending on the individual's physical fitness each time stay 3-30 seconds.
Currently, the orthopaedics center of Qifu Hospital has a standardized comprehensive treatment room, which can effectively help patients with cervical spondylosis to perform rehabilitation exercises. The public may also practice these exercises at home. 'The key is to play mobile phones as much as possible, not 'band down' and pay attention to keeping the spine. Normal physiological curve. ' Fu Qiang director reminded.
