How to correct cervical kyphosis?

The cervical vertebrae are in an arched shape, which actually means that there is a problem with the growth curvature of the cervical spine. Because the normal growth of the cervical spine will have a reasonable bending angle, if the direction and angle of this bending change, it will pose a threat to the health of the cervical spine. If it is a mild cervical kyphosis, the patient can correct bad habits in life and pay attention to using a pillow properly.

First, cervical kyphosis is a common cervical spondylosis. The cervical spine has a normal physiological curvature. If there is no physiological curvature, or even bends in the opposite direction, it is called reverse curvature. Cervical kyphosis is the most common pathological basis of cervical spondylosis, and improper use of pillow is an important cause of cervical kyphosis.

Second, the severity of cervical kyphosis:

Cervical kyphosis can cause many diseases. First, the cervical artery is compressed, which will cause insufficient blood supply to the brain. Second, the nerves are compressed, resulting in radicular lesions or sympathetic and nervous system diseases. Common symptoms include limb numbness, nausea and vomiting, dizziness and headache, and severe cases may even cause paralysis.

Third, the solution:

1. Usual habits.

You should develop good living and study habits, avoid reading books or watching TV in bed, and master the correct writing posture.

2. Pay attention to the pillow.

The pillow should not be too high. The best pillow height for adults is 18-25CM, and for children is 10-15CM. People who sleep on their side should shape the pillow into a concave shape before going to bed. The pillow should be divided into three equal parts, and the two sides can be 10CM higher to adapt to the normal physiological curve of the cervical spine when sleeping on the side. The best pillow core material should be reed catkins, slightly hard reed cores, or mung bean shells. It is not recommended to use overly soft sponge pillows or overly hard bamboo pillows commonly used in summer.

3. Do more activities .

People who work at a desk for a long time should have 5-10 minutes of rest every hour and do self-care exercises for the cervical spine. Strengthen the training of the neck and shoulder muscles. During breaks or after work, do flexion, extension and rotation exercises of the head and upper limbs. This is beneficial to the stability of the cervical spine and enhances the ability of the neck and shoulders to adapt to sudden changes in the neck.

4. Exercise regularly.

Appropriately participate in healthy sports activities within your ability, such as badminton, backward walking, etc., to improve blood supply to the cervical spine and prevent and delay the onset of cervical degeneration.

The above introduces various treatment methods for cervical kyphosis. If you have the phenomenon of cervical kyphosis, you should use these methods in time to improve your symptoms. If the cervical kyphosis, it will cause pain. You must exercise properly. Although this disease mainly relies on care and rest, proper exercise can improve the symptoms of the disease.
