The cervical spine is the smallest but particularly high frequency of activity in the entire spine, and because of its relatively large load-bearing, it is easy to have degenerative pathological changes and induce a series of cervical spondylosis.
According to the location of the lesion, cervical spondylosis can be divided into four types: radiculocarpine, cervical myelopathy, vertebral arterial cervical spondylosis, and sympathetic cervical spondylosis, of which cervical spondylosis is the most dangerous.
There are many causes of cervical spondylosis, such as long-term strain, bone hyperplasia, pressure on the vertebral arteries, and stimulation of the sympathetic nerves.
However, with the change of lifestyle, more and more people have been working on the case for a long time, coupled with some not very good living habits, so that the incidence of cervical spondylosis has increased year by year, and the age of onset has tended to be younger.
So which habits are prone to cervical spondylosis?
1. Often wear high heels
High heels can show a beautiful body curve, so they are loved by many beauty lovers. However, although wearing high heels can enhance personal charm, it is also easy to cause injuries to the spine and cervical spine.
This is because the heel of the high heel is high, and wearing it for a long time will make the body unconsciously lean forward, which will increase the curvature of the spine, resulting in greater pressure on the cervical spine, and eventually causing injury to the cervical spine.
2. Standing and sitting for a long time
For white-collar workers who sit in front of the computer for a long time, cervical spondylosis is very easy to find.
Sitting for a long time will not only make the blood circulation in the body not smooth, but also damage the cervical spine, especially when working with the head down for a long time, it will increase the pressure of the cervical spine, which will easily induce cervical spondylosis in the long run.
In addition, long-term standing posture will also increase the pressure of the spine, the cervical spine will naturally be affected by this, especially those who wear high heels for a long time, the damage to the cervical spine is even worse.
3. Wrong massage method
As living conditions get better and better, many people will choose massage to relax the body.
Scientific massage can indeed relax and is also very helpful for physical health, but if the massage techniques are not correct or the massage points are not accurate, it may cause damage to the cervical spine.
Therefore, if you want to massage the body, it is best to go to a regular and qualified institution to avoid unnecessary physical damage.
4, like to play mobile phones
Because mobile phones are easy to carry and highly interesting, many people have become "low-headed people".
However, many people are more casual when playing mobile phones, and will bow their heads for a long time, which will cause a lot of pressure on the cervical spine, so that the blood circulation in the cervical spine is affected, and even cause the bones in the cervical spine to be deformed in severe cases.
In addition to looking down at the phone, some people also like to lie down and play with the phone. If the height of the pillow is unreasonable, it can also induce cervical spondylosis to a certain extent. This is because the improper pillow for a long time will also strain the cervical ligaments, and cervical spine lesions may occur over time.
Do not underestimate cervical spondylosis, if not timely maintenance and treatment, it may cause more serious physical injuries, such as cataplexy, dizziness, etc., and even cause paralysis when severe. Therefore, when the symptoms related to cervical spondylosis appear, they must be treated in time and cannot be delayed for no reason.
In addition, these points should also be avoided as much as possible in life, so as to reduce the probability of cervical spondylosis. If you really need to sit or stand for a long time, you should also take time to move more to relieve tension in the cervical spine.
