First, pay attention to correct bad sitting posture. For some people, if they work at their desks for a long time, or play mahjong, operate computers, play mobile phones, etc. They will change the normal curvature of the cervical spine, which will lead to chronic strain of the cervical spine. Therefore, attention should be paid to maintaining the integrity of the spine when carrying out these activities. When working or studying with your head down for a long time, you should move your neck every ten minutes and stretch your limbs in time.
Second, pay attention to correct bad sleeping posture and choose the right pillow. When we fall asleep, if the sleeping position is incorrect, the ligaments between the cervical vertebrae will be in a state of tension, so we should maintain the correct sleeping position, mainly in the lateral position, supplemented by the supine position. Moreover, the height and quality of the pillow also have a great influence on the cervical spine. Generally, the height of the pillow should be about ten centimeters, and it should be soft and elastic.
Third, pay attention to strengthening neck exercise, which is an important measure to prevent cervical spondylosis. Because the muscles and ligaments in our neck mainly fix and protect the cervical vertebra, which is the natural cervical collar, we should pay attention to the neck exercise, use the movements of shoulders and upper limbs to drive the neck muscles, and we can choose jogging, cutting and swimming.
Fourth, pay attention to regular massage. Usually cervical vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, shoulders, etc. It can be massaged frequently to dredge the meridians. For cervical massage, you can also choose cervical pillow or other massagers to relieve cervical discomfort, reduce the occurrence of cervical spondylosis or prevent the deterioration of cervical spondylosis.
Five, pay attention to keep warm, cold neck will lead to neck muscle spasm or small joint tension. Therefore, we should pay attention to keep warm at ordinary times, try to avoid staying in a wet and cold environment in our life, and increase clothes with the weather in time to prevent the neck from catching cold.
