How to protect cervical vertebra? How should I protect cervical vertebra?

1, correct bad sitting posture. One of the most important ways to protect cervical spine is sitting posture. Bad sitting posture will do great harm to our cervical spine. Working at a desk for a long time, playing poker, playing mahjong, operating a computer and reading books will change the normal curvature of the cervical spine and lead to chronic cervical strain. Therefore, the integrity of the spine should be maintained when carrying out the above activities. When you work and study with your head down for a long time, you should exercise your neck every 10 minute and stretch your limbs in time.

2. Choose pillows scientifically. When sleeping, the pillow is also a very important item, because we all know that when people sleep, the incorrect sleeping position will bring discomfort to our cervical vertebrae, so we must keep the correct sleeping position, that is, the lateral position is the main position, supplemented by the supine position. In addition, the height and quality of pillows also have a great influence on people's cervical vertebrae. The height of a standard pillow should be around 10 cm, and the material of the pillow core should be soft and elastic.

3. Strengthen neck exercise. Proper neck exercise can also help us to prevent cervical vertebrae better, but we must remember to exercise with the correct hairstyle. Unscientific neck exercise will aggravate the strain of cervical vertebrae. The correct method of cervical spine exercise should be to use the movements of shoulders and upper limbs to drive the neck muscles, such as jogging, cutting, yoga, swimming and so on.

4. Keep warm. Clinical studies have found that catching cold can cause neck muscle spasm or facet joint tension. Therefore, people should try to avoid staying in a humid and cold environment, and adjust the thickness of clothes and quilts at any time according to climate change to prevent the neck from catching cold.

5. Stay optimistic. Studies have shown that people are prone to neurasthenia when they are depressed and bored for a long time. Neurasthenia can affect the rest of joints and muscles. Therefore, in addition to maintaining the correct posture and strengthening exercise, we should also maintain a healthy and happy mood.

6, do more exercise to protect the cervical spine. Usually you can do more exercises to relieve cervical vertebrae, such as swimming, aerobics or yoga. These exercises can make the cervical spine move and effectively protect it.

7. Calcium supplementation. Protect the cervical spine, avoid osteoporosis or nutritional deficiency, and pay attention to calcium supplementation, such as milk, yogurt, kelp and shrimp.

8. Don't drink. Don't drink alcohol at ordinary times, because alcohol will affect the deposition of calcium on bones, lead to osteoporosis and accelerate cervical degenerative diseases.
