When the gangsters in film and television works appear on the scene, they like to twist their necks to "click", which seems to increase the villain's aura, and there are also people who imitate in reality, although they cannot increase the aura, but there will be a sense of comfort after twisting the neck, so many people like to twist their necks. Yes, if the neck is always easy to ring, and some people can't help but worry about whether it is cervical spondylosis, today we will answer this question!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > twisting the neck "clicking", is it cervical spondylosis? </h1>
First of all, we must correctly understand the joint bounce!
In daily life, when we do the action of twisting the neck, pinching the fingers, stretching the waist, the joints are prone to bounce, in fact, do not be busy suspecting about the joint disease, because most of the joint bouncing is physiological bouncing, is normal, and has nothing to do with the disease.
Why do joints bounce so easily when they are moving? This is because the joint is related to the synovial fluid, and there is a lot of soluble gas in the synovial fluid, when the joint is moved, the instantaneous deformation of the joint will make the joint cavity in a negative pressure state, at this time the joint capsule is concave, under the action of pressure, the gas dissolved in the synovial fluid will vaporize into bubbles, when the bubbles can not withstand the pressure, it will rupture, at this time it will issue a crisp sound of "popping", which is physiological popcorn!
The physiological bouncing of the cervical spine generally has the following characteristics:
Not accompanied by symptoms such as cervical soreness;
Usually occurs when the cervical spine is suddenly subjected to external force flexion, such as a sudden and rapid twisting of the neck;
The sound is crisp and single, not a low, hoarse rubbing sound;
The same location does not bounce frequently, because the gas in the synovial fluid takes a while to regather;
Physiological pops generally appear in the mature stage of cervical joint development, rare in infancy and old age, and are more common in young and middle-aged people;
Sometimes after twisting the neck, the cervical spine appears comfortable.
Since there is a physiological pop, there is also a pathological pop, and what is the pathological pop?
Pathological changes in the cervical spine can lead to pathological pops when twisting the neck, such as changes in the physiological curvature of the cervical spine that cause the tendon ligaments to be misaligned, which will produce abnormal friction with the joints and cause pathological bouncing sounds, and after the wear occurs in the small joint surface of the cervical vertebrae, friction sounds will also occur when moving! However, friction is only the only symptom of patients with cervical spine lesions, and patients often have uncomfortable symptoms such as soreness and pain, and when the two are combined, they must be vigilant against cervical spine lesions.

We tend to feel comfortable after twisting our necks and necks that bounce physiologically, what is the reason for this?
In fact, it is not the bouncing sound that produces comfort, but the muscles and ligaments that are relaxed when twisting the neck, which is the reason for comfort, but with the bouncing sound, there will be a better physical and mental experience!
Since twisting the neck can relax muscles and ligaments, can patients with cervical spondylosis often do this to relax the neck?
Doctors do not recommend this for patients with cervical spondylosis. There was a real case last year, a young lady neck sore, twisted the neck hard, the pain was not effectively relieved, she did a neck massage, but the pain eased quickly after the comeback, and then the condition quickly worsened, if not rescued in time she may be paraplegic. Violent neck twisting and inappropriate massage were among the reasons her condition worsened.
Patients with cervical soreness may already have problems such as cervical instability, cervical osteoporosis, cervical disc herniation, etc., if the neck is violently twisted, it may lead to cervical spine injury, or the aggravation of neurovascular compression by herniations in the cervical spine, which will aggravate the symptoms and conditions of cervical spondylosis.
Even normal people, it is not recommended to violently twist the neck, there is not much benefit, but will increase the risk of cervical spine injury, to really alleviate the fatigue of the cervical spine, you should avoid poor posture and reasonable extension of the cervical spine, which is the way to long-term peace and stability.
