How to correct cervical spondylosis

Cervical forward lean is a common symptom, especially for people who work on computers for a long time or surf the Internet for a long time. This phenomenon is easy to occur. It has a great impact on the cervical spine and can cause the onset of cervical spondylosis. In addition, leaning forward beyond normal flexion and extension will cause double the pressure, which can easily lead to fatigue and cervical pain. Therefore, when the cervical spine leans forward, it must be corrected in time.

How to correct cervical spondylosis

1. First of all, before talking about treatment or improvement methods, you must first have a strong awareness, such as the awareness of sitting properly, and this awareness should be like a conditioned reflex. 2. Let’s talk about the specific training methods below. The motion of a flying swallow. This movement can protect the lumbar spine well, while also exercising the shoulder and neck strength.

3. Raise your hands to shoulder height and maintain standing position for a few minutes. 4. Stick to the wall. Stand straight against a wall and hold for 20 minutes.

5. Push-ups. Do a certain amount of standard push-ups.

6. Shrug with weight. Pay attention to the weight intensity.

7. Pull-ups. This method is simple, safe and healthy.

8. If conditions permit, you can participate in swimming.

10. When learning dance, such as Latin dance, just focus on your neck.

The dangers of cervical spondylosis

Many people have the habit of stretching their necks and leaning their bodies forward. Whether you are walking, driving, or working, this little action is no wonder. Experts from Shanghai Ren Ai Hospital pointed out that for every inch the neck leans forward, the pressure on the cervical spine doubles. Let’s take a look at the detailed introduction.

The cervical spine has a much greater range of motion than the thoracic and lumbar spine. When you lower your head or raise your head, your cervical spine can extend 60° forward and backward, rotate 70°-90° left and right, and have a lateral bend of 45°-60°. This is called the physiological curvature of the cervical spine. As we age, the range of motion of the cervical spine gradually decreases.

During the normal flexion and extension process of the cervical spine, the pressure it bears is equivalent to the weight of the head. If it leans forward and exceeds the normal flexion and extension angle, the pressure it bears will double. Over time, the cervical spine will easily become fatigued. If this continues for a long time, cervical pain will occur, leading to cervical spondylosis, and physical activities will also be affected.
