What are the exercise methods to prevent cervical spondylosis?

Nowadays, office workers usually sit in the office for a long time and do not exercise. Over time, they will suffer from cervical spondylosis. Therefore, most office workers now suffer from cervical spondylosis. For our health and future life, we should pay attention to our sitting posture and increase the amount of exercise to move our body. So what are the exercise methods to prevent cervical spondylosis?

method:

1. Improve your sitting posture: You spend a long time on the computer every day, and you have to take a bus or drive after work, so the sitting time is particularly long. This is how cervical spondylosis is caused. To prevent cervical spondylosis, you must first establish a correct sitting posture, which can reduce the incidence of cervical spondylosis by at least 40%.

2. Change your pillow . Pillows are not only related to sleep quality, but for patients with cervical spondylosis or people with the most health threats in Zhengzhou, a good pillow also means relieving pain, persistent injuries and even rehabilitation needs. The choice of pillow should follow 3 principles. Good support, soft and comfortable, in line with the physiological curvature of the cervical spine.

3. Active temperature control . Whether in winter or summer, you should keep your cervical spine at a comfortable temperature. Even for the sake of beauty, you should prepare a shawl in the office to protect your neck and back.

4. Exercise moderately. Regular exercise can enhance your physical fitness and improve some abilities. Although the weather is cold in winter, you must ensure that your cervical and lumbar vertebrae are adequately exercised. Otherwise, the degenerative changes in the cervical and lumbar vertebrae will be accelerated due to lack of exercise, thereby inducing cervical spondylosis. However, exercise should also be done in moderation to avoid counterproductive results.

5. Keep warm. In the cold winter, we need to be careful to prevent wind, cold and dampness. In particular, patients who have suffered from the disease must keep warm in cold and snowy weather to prevent a recurrence due to improper warmth.

Causes:

1. Degeneration of the cervical spine

Degenerative changes of the cervical spine are the main cause of cervical spondylosis, among which the degeneration of the intervertebral disc is particularly important and is the primary factor in the degeneration of the cervical spine structures. From this, a series of pathological anatomical and pathophysiological changes of cervical spondylosis have evolved. ① Degeneration of the intervertebral disc; ② The appearance of the ligament-disc space and hematoma formation; ③ The formation of bone spurs on the edge of the vertebral body; ④ Degeneration of other parts of the cervical spine; ⑤ Reduction in the sagittal diameter and volume of the spinal canal.

2. Developmental cervical spinal stenosis

In recent years, it has been confirmed that the inner diameter of the cervical spinal canal, especially the sagittal diameter, is closely related not only to the occurrence and development of cervical spondylosis, but also to the diagnosis, treatment, selection of surgical methods and prognosis of cervical spondylosis. Some people have severe cervical degeneration and obvious osteophyte hyperplasia, but they do not develop the disease. The main reason is that the sagittal diameter of the cervical spinal canal is wide and there is a large compensatory space in the spinal canal. For some patients, cervical degeneration is not very serious, but the symptoms appear early and are more severe.

3. Chronic strain

Chronic strain refers to various excessive activities that exceed the maximum range of normal physiological activities or the local tolerance value. Because it is different from obvious trauma or accidents in life and work, it is easy to be ignored, but it has a direct relationship with the occurrence, development, treatment and prognosis of cervical spondylosis.

If you want to stay healthy, you have to stick to exercising. Come on!
