What causes cervical spondylosis?

Causes of cervical spine disease

First, the temperature is high and the number of turning over during sleep increases, resulting in stiff neck. You should try to keep the indoor temperature from being too hot. It is also very useful to add a straw mat cover to the pillow.

The second is that hot weather and irritable mood can induce cervical spondylosis. Studies have shown that people who are sentimental and have bad tempers are prone to neurasthenia, which affects the rest of bones, joints and muscles. If things go on like this, they will easily suffer from pain in the neck and shoulders. Therefore, we must pay attention to maintaining a healthy, happy and peaceful mood in summer.

Third, if the air conditioner temperature is too low or the fan blows hard, the neck will get cold, which may induce cervical spondylosis. Cervical spondylosis is closely related to catching cold. In the office in the summer, the air conditioner temperature is usually turned on very low, especially for women whose seats are facing the air conditioner or who wear suspenders. The muscles of the neck and back are easily exposed to cold, which can induce cervical spondylosis.

Fourthly, the weather is hot, so people go out less and spend more time surfing the Internet and watching TV at home. Maintaining one posture for a long time is also a bad habit for the cervical spine. It is recommended that you arrange more local "exercises", such as sit-ups, cleaning windows, getting up every hour and looking into the distance, etc., to fully exercise the neck and back muscles and keep the blood in the neck flowing smoothly.

Tips

1 When getting up in the morning, remember not to drag your body with your cervical spine to get up. This can easily cause cervical spine damage when the body is not moving. Use waist and abdominal strength when getting up. Drive to get up.

2 When eating, you should try to move your chewing muscles, and when drinking water, you should also pay attention to tilting your head back as much as possible, which can effectively relieve stiff neck muscles.

3 When working, try to maintain a correct sitting posture, with your upper body and head upright so that your shoulders are relaxed and your head is supported. In addition, when working for a long time, you should get up regularly and move around. You can do cervical spine exercises. Keep your movements gentle to relax the shoulder muscles.

4 Try to choose a pillow that is lower in the middle and higher at the ends. This will provide good support to the cervical spine during sleep and allow the cervical spine to get a better rest. You should also pay attention not to sleep on your stomach when sleeping, do not lie down to read a book, and do not let the cold wind blow directly on your neck.

5 Pay attention to participate in more outdoor sports in daily life, so that the muscles of the whole body can be effectively moved and relaxed.

Fifth, long days and short nights, rich nightlife, and reduced sleep can induce cervical spondylosis.

Sixth, it is easy to feel sleepy in summer, and bad posture during lunch break can damage the cervical spine. We often see some office workers falling asleep with their heads hanging down in their seats. Little do we know that sleeping like this can cause great damage to the cervical spine. When taking a lunch break or sleeping in the car, it is not recommended to sleep forward on your stomach. You can lie back and take a rest; be sure to find a support point for the cervical spine, such as placing a rolled piece of clothing or a belt behind the neck. Upper U-shaped neck pillow, etc.

Seventh, cold water showers are not good for people with bad cervical vertebrae. Do not use cold water showers to cool off in summer, as this can easily induce cervical spondylosis.
