Different from other parts of the body, human cervical vertebrae begin to degenerate from 18 years old, which is mainly manifested by intervertebral disc degeneration and reduced water content in the intervertebral disc, which is an important sign of degeneration. Although this degeneration is not obvious at first, it may not show obvious appearance changes, but later people will be more prone to neck and shoulder pain and cervical spondylosis. In other words, from the age of 18, if you don't pay attention to cervical health care and the muscles in the cervical spine can't be well relaxed, then cervical spondylosis is not far from you. Some common bad posture in life may cause neck and shoulder pain, and then develop into cervical spondylosis.
Poor posture leads to cervical spondylosis.
Some people feel comfortable with their bad posture, which will unconsciously cause neck and shoulder pain and even develop into cervical spondylosis.
For example, some people like to rely on chairs and sofas to answer the phone or watch TV and read books, or when they are working at their desks, their heads are too close to the desktop, and they lie prone on the bed to watch computers, read books and watch TV ... Although they feel very comfortable, the cervical vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae and muscles in these parts are in an abnormal bending state, which will make them feel pain in their neck and back for a long time, and even bring changes in bones and intervertebral discs, leading to hyperosteogeny.
In addition, it is also common to look down at newspapers and take a nap on buses and subways. However, the muscles at the back of the neck of people in this posture will continue to be pulled, and they will feel sore and uncomfortable after half an hour. Over time, it will lead to chronic neck and shoulder pain and even cervical spondylosis. For drivers, cervical spondylosis is more likely to come to you. If people's neck and back muscles are in a state of continuous contraction while driving, it will lead to fatigue and spasm, and finally develop into neck and shoulder pain.
White-collar workers are a high-risk group of cervical spondylosis.
Chronic strain related to cervical vertebra is also highly related to people's occupation. For example, white-collar workers are more prone to neck and shoulder pain after long-term desk work, and even further develop into cervical spondylosis.
In addition, drivers, accountants and workers working in the same posture are also high-risk groups of this kind of disease.
In addition, trauma, congenital developmental factors, deformity, tumor, nerve and muscle diseases are also common causes of neck and shoulder pain.
Generally speaking, bad posture affects people's neck and shoulder pain, which can be relieved by proper hot compress and rest. However, if we do not pay attention to improvement for a long time, musculoskeletal diseases will form over time, which will easily develop into repeated chronic neck and shoulder pain, even cervical instability and cervical disc herniation. If the above problems continue to develop, it will develop into cervical spondylosis, that is, a series of clinical syndromes caused by cervical disc degeneration and cervical hyperosteogeny, such as numbness of neck, shoulders and upper limbs.
