If you shake your head left and right, your neck will make a sound

Nowadays, more and more people suffer from cervical vertebrae discomfort, and the age is gradually getting younger. Many college students suffer from cervical vertebrae discomfort because they often lower their heads to play with mobile phones or maintain the same posture for a long time to play computer games, and there will be a crackling sound when rotating. This situation is mostly caused by a lack of blood and qi in the cervical spine, which can be recovered by simply relaxing the cervical spine frequently. This article introduces methods of daily cervical spine health care, let’s take a look.

1. Why does my neck make noises when I shake my head left and right?

1. The main reason is that there is not enough blood supply in our bone joints, just like the bearings of a machine without lubricating oil, which will produce abnormal noise. Another reason is that there are muscle groups around the lumbar and cervical vertebrae that we often do not pay attention to resting and maintaining.

2. In real life, when our muscles are in a working state for a long time, they will become sore over time, which will lead to insufficient blood flow to the bones and joints near the muscles. At this time, we will feel much better if we move around and take a rest.

2. What should I do if my neck makes a noise when I shake my head left and right?

1. Don't supplement calcium blindly. Even if you do, it will be of no help. Calcium supplementation only supplements the inside of the bones and has nothing to do with the lubrication of the joints. We must start with regulating the blood and qi.

2. For those of us who work on computers in the office, we should exercise our necks every fifty minutes or so. Do not make large movements, just turn them slowly. Also, in daily life, if the working environment is humid and cold, we should try our best to avoid letting the cervical spine get cold.

3. Daily neck care

1. Increase breaks between work appropriately. People who engage in desk work for a long time should increase breaks and activity time to enhance blood circulation throughout the body, eliminate local muscle fatigue, and prevent and relieve cervical strain.

2. Use daily cervical spondylosis auxiliary tools to strengthen cervical muscles

Strengthening neck muscle exercises can prevent and delay the occurrence and development of cervical spondylosis. According to a survey, the incidence of cervical spondylosis is reduced by 80% among people with well-developed and strong neck muscles. Therefore, strengthening the neck muscles is of great significance for maintaining cervical bone and spinal canal stability.

3. Choose the right pillow

A suitable pillow is important for the prevention and treatment of cervical spondylosis. Generally, the pillow height for those who sleep on their backs is one fist high, and for those who sleep on their sides, it is one and a half fists high, about 10 cm. The elasticity should not be too large. A pillow with too much elasticity can easily cause fatigue and damage to the neck muscles. People who are accustomed to sleeping on their backs should put a small pillow under their neck to maintain the physiological curvature of the cervical spine. People who are accustomed to sleeping on their side should fill the space between their face and shoulders with a pillow to reduce the burden on their neck.
