Cervical disc herniation

There are many causes of lumbar disc herniation, and different people have different factors. In addition to lumbar disc herniation, there is also cervical disc herniation. The posterior protrusion of the cervical disc can be considered to be caused by changes in the bones, and most of them are caused by excessive resistance. Reasonable conditioning is needed in daily life, and attention should be paid to avoid excessive fatigue and long-term strain.

Contents on causes of cervical disc herniation.

1. Excessive fatigue: Due to our activities in daily life, the cervical spine is always in a flexed state, but if we do not pay attention to the protection of the cervical spine, it will remain flexed for a long time. For example, long hours of work or lack of rest will cause damage to the cervical spine. According to statistics, some people flex their cervical spine as often as 3,000 to 5,000 times a day. 2. Wrong sitting posture: In many cases we need to sit for a long time, such as working in front of a computer, playing games online, etc. However, it is inevitable that some incorrect sitting postures will occur. If you keep this incorrect sitting posture, the cervical spine will be under pressure for a long time, causing the overall sinking and shortening. The central axis of the body will also move backwards, causing the cervical disc to protrude backwards.

The occurrence of cervical disc herniation is a cumulative process, so if we don’t pay attention to it, it will slowly form in our body. In fact, cervical disc herniation is not a terrible disease. We can use minimally invasive technology to treat it, and the effect is obvious. But no one wants to get sick, so please pay more attention to your own health.

Nursing methods/cervical disc herniation (1) Patients who are bedridden for a long time should pay attention to the prevention and observation of complications related to bedriddenness. Frequently use 50% safflower alcohol to massage the patient's bony protrusions, such as the sacrum, coccyx, heels, inner and outer ankles, etc. Massage the upper and lower limb muscles and encourage patients to actively strengthen the activities of each joint. During non-surgical treatment, pay attention to changes in the location of pain and numbness and weakness in the limbs. Measure body temperature, pulse, respiration and blood pressure on time.

(2) Correctly guide the patient to exercise the function of the head and neck, and insist on neck movement exercises, including forward, backward, left, and right movements, and left and right rotation exercises. Instruct the patient to train his hands to squeeze a rubber ball or towel, as well as various finger movements. Correct and effective traction can relieve mechanical compression. Pay attention to the posture, position and weight of traction, and promptly detect any reactions during traction, such as dizziness, nausea, palpitations, etc. Because the patient's neck is immobilized, local irritation is reduced. Correctly apply comprehensive treatments such as physical therapy, massage, and medication to relieve pain.

(3) Let patients understand the relevant knowledge about cervical spondylosis, improve their awareness of disease prevention, enhance their confidence in treatment, and master rehabilitation methods. Observe the psychological and emotional changes experienced by patients during treatment, regulate their emotions, and maintain mental health.
