How to prevent cervical spondylosis? Prevention and treatment methods for cervical spondylosis

The harm of cervical spondylosis is not an exaggeration. In recent years, many people have died from this disease, so active prevention is imperative. There are many ways to prevent this disease, among which the following ones introduced by patients are effective!

1. Correct bad posture

Actively correct bad postures in life. For example, when watching TV, playing cards, chess, etc., pay attention to your sitting posture. Do not sit for too long. It is best to move around a few times in between to avoid cervical spondylosis. Do not lie in bed for a long time reading or watching TV, so as to avoid the neck being in a twisted state for a long time and causing pathology.

2. Pay attention to neck exercises

Pay attention to strengthening neck exercises, and take some time during work to do flexion, extension and rotation exercises of the head and upper limbs. This can not only relieve fatigue, but also increase the stability of the cervical spine.

3. Pay attention to related diseases

Pay attention to related diseases that are likely to cause secondary cervical spondylosis, such as diabetes, cervical spondylosis, shoulder and upper limb injuries, chest surgery and neurological diseases. People with the above diseases should closely observe whether they have symptoms of shoulder pain and whether the range of motion of the shoulder joint is reduced. They should also carry out active and passive movements of the shoulder joint to maintain the mobility of the shoulder joint.

4. Keep warm

Climate change, cold and humidity can affect physical health, causing muscle tissue and small blood vessels to contract. Prolonged muscle contraction can produce more metabolic products, such as lactic acid and the accumulation of pain-causing substances, which can stimulate muscle tissue and cause spasms. Over time, this can cause fibrous degeneration of muscle cells and muscle contraction dysfunction, leading to various symptoms. Therefore, it is very important to keep warm in daily life, especially to avoid cold shoulders, in order to prevent cervical spondylosis.
