Is it easy to get cervical spondylosis if you have a long neck?

A long neck does not necessarily lead to cervical spondylosis. Cervical spondylosis is mainly caused by the neck being in one position for a long time or working at a desk for a long time. It may also be caused by external stimulation.

1. The cervical spine maintains a certain position for a long time: If your daily work is stressful, the cervical spine may maintain a certain position for a long time, which will cause stiffness and pain in the cervical spine and cause cervical spondylosis.

2. Working at a desk for a long time: Working at a desk for a long time will cause changes in the physiological curvature of the cervical spine, which will induce cervical spondylosis.

3. External stimulation: If you do not pay attention to the care of the cervical spine, it is likely to cause external stimulation to the cervical spine, and it may also cause trauma to the neck, in which case cervical spondylosis may occur.

Cervical spondylosis usually causes patients to experience symptoms of dizziness, headache, and drowsiness, and may also cause numbness or pain in the upper limbs. After cervical spondylosis occurs, the symptoms can be improved through local massage or acupuncture. If necessary, you can also take medicines to relieve muscle fatigue and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, you should pay attention to rest and do more physical exercises, such as playing badminton, swimming, and other activities, which can effectively improve cervical spondylosis and increase muscle strength in the neck and shoulders.
