It's cold in winter, so you should pay more attention to the ancestor posture map when sleeping/vision china.
Lying like shrimp is easy to induce cervical spondylosis.
The ancients said, "Stand like a pine, sit like a bell, lie like a bow, and walk like the wind". These not only refer to daily manners, which are dignified and full of beauty, but also beneficial to health. People are not easy to get sick because the breath is harmonious and the natural blood vessels are unobstructed. The so-called "lying like a bow" refers to the posture in which the body bends like a bow when sleeping. In this posture, the limbs can be placed in a more comfortable position, and the muscles of the whole body can be satisfactorily relaxed.
"Lie like a bow" to keep your head and feet upright. Figure/vision china
But some people misunderstand this posture, which leads to cervical spondylosis. Ms. Li has been engaged in the accounting industry for nearly five years. She suffered from cervical spondylosis because she often bowed her head at work. In the last three months, Ms. Li's dizziness and headache have recurred.
Fan Dehui, the chief physician of the Department of Acupuncture and Rehabilitation of Guangdong Second Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, accepted Ms. Li's diagnosis with Long's three-step positioning method and judged that Ms. Li's cervical instability was caused by the physiological curvature of the cervical spine.
After Fan Dehui received the treatment of Long's bone-setting manipulation, Ms. Li's symptoms were relieved on the spot. However, what Ms. Li wants to know more is that she has paid great attention to it, such as the hardness of the bed, the height of the pillow and sleeping like a bow. Why is cervical spondylosis always repeated? "
"Shrimp-like" sleeping position is especially bad for cervical vertebrae/vision china
Therefore, Fan Dehui asked Ms. Li to make a "bow down" posture on the bed. Results When Ms. Li finished her presentation, Fan Dehui understood the problem-she misunderstood "lying like a bow", and her head and neck bent like shrimp, which reversed the physiological curvature of cervical spine and led to joint instability.
After sleeping, my neck is still very tired, so I need to reflect on my improper sleeping position.
I believe many people have made the same mistake except Ms. Li. Fan Dehui said that the two ends of the bow are straight, not curved. Therefore, the real "lying like a bow", relative to the curved trunk, the head, neck and ankle are straight. In other words, when sleeping at night, the head and neck position is the same as the normal standing posture. Only in this way, the cervical spine will remain neutral at rest, and will not continue to flex under the condition of "excessive" flexion during the day, so that the curvature of the cervical spine will become straight and reverse.
The X-ray film of cervical vertebra can be taken from the side, and the physiological curvature/Zhang Hua of cervical vertebra can be seen.
After listening to Fan Dehui's explanation, Ms. Li suddenly realized. After several treatments and sleeping in the right posture, her cervical spondylosis never happened again.
Experts remind that the symptoms of neck fatigue or neck discomfort found on the second day after sleep have not been alleviated or even aggravated, so we should reflect on whether the sleeping position is wrong.
When sleeping on your side, it is best to keep the whole spine in a straight line/vision china.

The communication between doctors and patients should be expressed more clearly and in detail.
Fan Dehui said that in clinical practice, I believe many doctors will give advice to patients, such as diet, exercise, warmth and posture. However, sometimes, the effect is not ideal. In fact, as long as patients pay attention to these details after returning home, a spinal problem can be improved and the curative effect should be maintained for a long time. But in reality, sometimes what patients do at home is not the same as what doctors suggest. The patient may have misunderstood the doctor's advice. For example, the doctor asks the patient to exercise properly after going home, and then the patient goes home to exercise. Because the patient has to go to work during the day, he goes running every night. This goes against the health preserving theory of traditional Chinese medicine, because the sun's spirit sneaks into the body at night and is not suitable for strenuous exercise. In addition, the air quality at night is not good. Although it is exercise, but the body has not improved.
There was once a young patient who practiced arch bridge every day because of lumbar disc herniation, but because of his poor understanding, he actually practiced for more than 4 hours every day, so that his whole waist was stiff like a board, which led to the loss of bending function ... Examples abound. Therefore, the communication between doctors and patients should be clearer and more detailed, so as to avoid misunderstanding and affect the recovery of the disease.
