Ways to relieve cervical pain

After suffering from cervical spondylosis, cervical pain often occurs, which is quite harmful and can easily cause insufficient blood supply to the brain, which can cause symptoms such as dizziness and nausea. When cervical pain occurs, certain methods must be taken to relieve it. For example, if you work too long, you should get up and walk around, move your neck, and you can massage the cervical area with your hands. You should avoid some bad living habits.

Ways to relieve cervical pain

First: Relax properly after sitting for a long time

Increase breaks between work appropriately, use rest and activity time to enhance blood circulation throughout the body, eliminate local muscle fatigue, and prevent and relieve cervical strain.

Second: Pay attention to your sitting and standing posture

When working at a desk, you must pay attention to your sitting posture, develop good sitting habits and change the upright position of your head in time, so as to effectively avoid the incidence of cervical spondylosis; whether the pillow is suitable or not is very important for the prevention and treatment of cervical spondylosis. In principle, the requirements for pillows are as follows: the pillow should be one fist high for those who sleep on their backs, and one and a half fists high for those who sleep on their sides (about 10 cm); the pillow core should be made of kapok and buckwheat husk, and it should be properly filled to maintain a certain hardness and elasticity. With the help of a pillow, a normal vertebral position can be formed to reduce the burden on the neck.

Third: Get rid of bad living habits

For patients who already have cervical spondylosis, further injury to the cervical spine will undoubtedly make the situation worse. Therefore, in daily life, we should avoid strenuous activities that may sprain or strain the cervical spine. In addition, a stiff neck caused by bad sleeping habits or pillows can also aggravate cervical spondylosis. In life, you should pay attention to keeping the cervical spine warm, and do not expose the cervical spine directly to low temperature conditions such as electric fans, cold water, and air conditioners. High temperature difference is an important cause of cervical spondylosis.

The most important point in the treatment of cervical spondylosis is perseverance. By following the above four methods, white-collar workers no longer have to worry about the invasion of cervical spondylosis. After getting rid of the "neck" curse, they will feel relaxed.
