There is a sound in the cervical vertebra when shaking the head

The bones in our entire body are connected together. There are many soft tissues at the joints that protect the bones and relieve the damage caused by collision between bones. This is why we can carry out various activities well. Nowadays, many people have various pressures in life and work, often have irregular work and rest schedules, and bad living habits, which often have some impact on their physical health. Sometimes when we shake our heads, we can hear a sound in our cervical spine.

Causes of cervical vertebrae making noises when shaking head

If the meridians and tendons are disordered and the muscles are strained, there will be noise in the cervical spine. Chinese medicine experts point out that this sound in the cervical spine is produced by the meridian muscles in the cervical spine area. Strictly speaking, the muscles in our neck are divided into many layers, and when the neck moves, the layers slide against each other. When the neck muscles are strained, there will be some local inflammatory reactions, which will make the sliding between the muscles not so smooth, so there will be noise during movement.

Because modern people have bad habits of maintaining the same posture for a long time, looking at computers, mobile phones, driving, etc. in their work and daily life, the neck muscles cannot be relaxed for a long time, which will cause disorder and strain. More importantly, long-term poor posture will hinder the circulation of qi and blood in the neck, causing the meridians and muscles to lose nutrition, and the meridians and muscles in the neck will be damaged, resulting in noise.
