Quick relief of cervical spondylosis headache

For people with cervical spondylosis, their lives are very troublesome. If they do not pay attention to the maintenance of cervical spondylosis, it may cause headaches. Headache is the most common symptom of cervical spondylosis, which is caused by the cervical spine compressing the blood vessels. Therefore, we should treat cervical spondylosis in time in daily life, pay attention to our living habits in daily life, participate in appropriate exercise, and relieve the symptoms of cervical spondylosis. So, what are some quick ways to relieve cervical spondylosis headaches?

1. Prevention

Prevention is one of the important aspects of preventing cervical spondylosis. It is generally believed that the intervertebral discs of the spine begin to degenerate after they develop into adults. In fact, the degeneration of each intervertebral disc varies greatly from person to person. From the perspective of age, the analysis of 100 asymptomatic cervical X-rays suggested that intervertebral disc degeneration and bone hyperplasia increase with age: 2/20 people in the group under 20 years old; 2/20 people in the group aged 20-29 years old; 4/20 people in the group aged 30-39 years old; 16/20 people in the group aged 40-49 years old and 50 years old and above. The chances of spinal trauma are highest during infancy and adolescence, so the prevention of cervical spondylosis should start in childhood. Strengthening physical exercise can strengthen the soft tissue around the vertebrae and help enhance the stability of the spine. Pay more attention to preventing injuries and correcting bad postures in work and life. In addition to trauma, common triggering factors of cervical spondylosis include stiff neck, cold, excessive fatigue, forced work, poor posture and other diseases. The pathogenic factors of cervical spondylosis are complex, but they can be generally divided into internal factors (factors within the body) and external factors (acute and chronic trauma), and the two can be causal to each other. Internal factors are the basis of disease.

2. Precautions

1. Do not sleep on your stomach, and choose the most suitable health pillow.

2. Avoid and reduce acute injuries, such as avoiding lifting heavy objects and not applying emergency brakes.

3. Prevent wind, cold and humidity. Avoid taking a bath or being blown by wind and cold at midnight or early morning. Wind and cold will cause local blood vessels to constrict and blood flow to decrease, which will hinder tissue metabolism and waste removal. Humidity will hinder skin evaporation.

4. Actively treat local infections and other diseases.

5. Correct bad posture and reduce strain. Do neck exercises every 1-2 hours when you lower or raise your head to relieve muscle tension. To prevent the occurrence of cervical spondylosis, the most important thing is to improve your sitting posture. When you are working hard, you can also do shoulder and neck exercises intermittently.
