What happens when the physiological curvature of the spine disappears?

The physiological curvature of the spine is due to the physiological needs of the human body. When the spine is abnormal, such as nerve compression, the physiological curvature of the spine may disappear. This is also related to people's living habits. The disappearance of the physiological curvature of the spine can be prevented, and massage is very important.

1. Due to the physiological needs of the human body, each section of the normal spine has a certain curvature, which is called the physiological curvature. Due to long-term sitting and sleeping postures, and dehydration and degeneration of the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc, the lordosis of the cervical spine may gradually disappear, and may even become straight or hyperextensional.

2. The physiological curvature of the spine is mainly caused by nerve compression and obstruction of local metabolic circulation, which leads to spinal canal stenosis, resulting in symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and tinnitus. Cervical spondylosis generally includes cervical bone hyperplasia, normal curvature variation and cervical disc herniation, which are mainly caused by nerve compression. It also depends on which specific nerve is being compressed. It can usually be divided into cervical type with mainly neck symptoms, radiculopathy type with upper limb symptoms caused by nerve root involvement, spinal cord type with movement and sensory disorders of the limbs, vertebral artery type with vertebral artery compression causing symptoms of sympathetic nerve stimulation around the vertebral artery, and esophageal type with esophageal compression causing swallowing discomfort or difficulty.

3. In order to prevent the disappearance of the physiological curvature of the spine, you can massage your face after getting up. Use both hands to rub the front, sides and behind the ears of your face back and forth several times, and then use five fingers to comb your hair a few times. It doesn't need to be too much, just feel comfortable. Gently massage the neck muscles with your hands, use your thumbs to press and massage the Fengchi, Tianzhu and acupoints on the left and right sides, and use your thumbs to press and massage the painful points on the neck. Continue to exercise your head and neck, bend forward, lean back, and turn left and right. Turn slowly without too much force. The number of times varies from person to person.
