Is cervical vertebrae in young people easy to treat?

Don’t think that cervical spondylosis only occurs in older people. In fact, with the popularization of electronic products, many young people spend more and more time looking down at their mobile phones and computers, so more and more young people are suffering from cervical spondylosis. But is cervical spondylosis in young people easy to treat? When young people have cervical problems, the most important thing they need to change is their daily habits. Compared with middle-aged and elderly people, cervical spondylosis is indeed easier to treat in young people.

Cervical spondylosis in adolescents can be alleviated by improving habits, but whether it can be cured depends on the patient's treatment process and exercise recovery process.

First of all, we need to understand the causes of cervical spondylosis in adolescents. Only by understanding the causes can we effectively improve the symptoms.

1. Heavy academic burden leads to bad habits

Teenagers have heavy academic burdens, stressful studies, and carry heavy school bags every day. Especially for junior and high school graduates, who spend long periods of time reading, writing or using computers at a desk, with their head and neck fixed in a flexed position and unable to get timely rest and adjustment, the cervical spine lacks rich blood flow and nutrition, and the contraction and relaxation function of the neck muscles gradually weakens and muscle strength decreases, which can induce cervical spine problems.

2. Improper matching of tables, chairs and pillows

Teenagers are at an important stage of growth and development. If they often use tables and chairs with inappropriate heights, such as a low table top and a high chair, it can easily cause cervical strain and cause great harm. In addition, people who like to use high pillows when sleeping will keep the cervical spine in a flexed state for a long time, overloading the muscles and ligaments behind the neck and causing strain.

3. Lack of protection awareness

When the weather changes, if you don’t pay attention to keeping your neck warm, it is likely to induce cervical spondylosis. When participating in sports activities, if the exercise is too intense, the neck is suddenly twisted, or there is external violence, it is easy to cause cervical spine injury.

4. Psychological factors

Teenagers' lack of attention to cervical spondylosis, or tension, anxiety, fear, etc., can also trigger worsening of symptoms.

Most cases of cervical spondylosis are caused by disharmony of Qi and blood, invasion of wind and cold, and blocked meridians. Therefore, acupuncture is more effective in treating cervical spondylosis. It mainly uses acupuncture to achieve the purpose of relaxing muscles and activating blood circulation. Acupuncture is difficult for patients and is very painful. Some patients even feel dizzy and afraid of needles. Acupuncture is also prone to complications. Massage is also a relatively common method of treating cervical spondylosis. No medication or injections are required during treatment. The massage doctor only relies on his hands and simple instruments to massage certain parts of the body or acupoints, along the direction of the patient's qi and blood circulation, using different techniques to achieve the purpose of treatment, and the effect is also good.
