Many people always want to catch up on sleep when taking the bus in the morning, but if the bus suddenly brakes and you are not paying attention at all, it may cause a sprain of the cervical vertebra. If it is an internal injury, it will be even more difficult to detect. Bad sleeping and sitting postures can also cause great pressure on the cervical spine.

People who work with their heads down for long periods of time should do head-up exercises regularly. They can also increase the height of the work surface to minimize the amount of time they have to lower their heads. People who work in a fixed posture for long periods of time should also move their necks regularly to strengthen their neck and back muscles. You can also massage your cervical spine yourself, which can effectively relieve neck fatigue and improve the quality of your work.
