My cervical vertebra hurts so much that I can't move my head. What should I do if my cervical vertebra hurts so much recently?

Cervical pain can be caused by sleeping posture or working with the head still for a long time. Although occasional cervical pain is not a serious illness, it can be very painful. If you suddenly experience severe pain in your cervical spine, you can adjust it by stretching your body and moving your shoulders. If the pain is serious, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up. Usually, you should pay attention to maintaining a regular living habit and pay attention to maintaining a good posture when sleeping.

What should I do if my cervical spine hurts recently?

1. Stretch your spine

Sit upright, stretch your legs forward, close together and keep them tight, hook your toes back toward your body (feel your calves stretched), and push against the ground with your heels. At the same time, cross the fingers of both hands, turn the palms toward the sky, straighten the arms, and stretch upwards as fully as possible, feeling the spine being stretched. Hold this position for 10 seconds, relax, and do it again. This method can stretch the cervical spine and relieve fatigue. You can do it more often when you have time.

2. Lift shoulders, relax shoulders and protect shoulders and neck

Stand up straight, lift your shoulders, and feel a sore and stretched feeling in your shoulders. Maintain this feeling for 15 seconds, relax your shoulders, and do it again.

3. Walking with a rolling pin

Buy a rolling pin and place it under your feet, rolling it back and forth for 10 to 15 minutes every day.

Self-treatment for cervical pain

1. Regular life

Everyone must know that the days are long and the nights are short, so try to arrange less nightlife at night so that you can get enough rest at night and let your tired cervical spine get enough rest.

2. Turn over less during sleep

In the summer, due to the high indoor temperature, you will toss and turn more often, sometimes you will end up on the other side of the bed. This frequent turning over can easily cause a stiff neck and cervical pain, so try to reduce the frequency of turning over.

3. Maintain a good sleeping posture

The correct sleeping posture is really important for cervical spondylosis. Especially in the summer, some people like to take a nap. If children under five years old have an incorrect posture, it is particularly easy to induce cervical spondylosis. Especially for those who fall asleep at their desks with their heads drooped, the pressure on the cervical spine is very great. If you really want to sleep, you must choose to lie on your side and raise your head.
