How to treat spinal pain

Spinal pain is a health problem that many people suffer from. After spinal pain occurs, in order to ensure the patient's health, it is necessary to relieve and treat this symptom as soon as possible. If the cervical pain is not very serious, then you just need to pay attention to taking good care of your cervical spine in your daily life. Next, I will introduce to you the treatment and care methods for cervical pain!

1. Sit in the right position

To prevent the occurrence of cervical spondylosis, the most important thing is to sit correctly, relax the neck and shoulders, and maintain the most comfortable and natural posture. Office workers should also stand up and walk around from time to time to move their neck and shoulders to relax the muscles in their neck and shoulders.

2. Move your neck

Every 1 to 2 hours of work, you should purposefully rotate your head and neck forward, backward, left and right several times. The rotation should be gentle and slow, so as to achieve the maximum range of motion in all directions. It relieves cervical joint fatigue.

3. Look up and see far

When you look at objects at close range for a long time, especially when you lower your head, it not only affects the cervical spine, but also easily causes visual fatigue and even induces refractive errors. Therefore, whenever you work at a desk for too long, you should look up and gaze into the distance for about half a minute. This can not only eliminate fatigue, but also is beneficial to the health of the cervical spine.

4. Sleeping Patterns

Do not sleep on your stomach, and the pillow should not be too high, too hard, or too low. Pillow: The center should be slightly concave, the neck should be in full contact with the pillow and kept slightly tilted back, not hanging in the air. For those who are accustomed to side sleeping, the pillow should be at the same height as the shoulder. Don't read while lying down when you go to bed. Do not blow cold air towards your head and neck.

5. Avoid injuries

Avoid and reduce acute cervical spine injuries, such as avoiding sudden lifting of heavy objects, emergency braking, etc.

6. Protect against cold and moisture

Prevent wind, cold and humidity, and avoid being attacked by wind and cold when taking a bath at midnight or early morning. Patients with cervical spondylosis are often closely related to seasonal climate changes such as wind, cold, and humidity. Wind-cold causes local blood vessels to constrict, reducing blood flow, and hindering tissue metabolism and blood circulation. When going out in winter, you should wear a scarf or a turtleneck sweater to protect your neck from wind and cold.

7. Prevent infection

Aggressively treat neck infections and other neck diseases.
