Since March, nearly 1,000 employees of Zhuhai Public Transport Group have participated in professional driver training activities sponsored by Zhuhai Red Cross Society and attended by many experts from Zhuhai Hospital of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine-
"Xiao Chun" public welfare action has held nearly 30 training lectures on occupational disease prevention and control, which received strong response.
Chen Maoshui, deputy chief physician of the Department of Spine, Zhuhai Hospital, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, who participated in this charity activity for many times, said that according to the actual survey of the students, more than 80% of the drivers are in a worrying state of health, and they all suffer from cervical spondylosis, scapulohumeral periarthritis, low back and leg pain and other diseases to varying degrees. These diseases are related to their special work nature and unhealthy lifestyle, such as sedentary, fatigue, bumps, repeated chronic strain and lack of necessary preventive and health care measures.
According to Chen Maoshui, deputy chief physician of the Department of Spine, Zhuhai Hospital of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine:
At present, cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation and other diseases are more common, which seriously affect the work and life of patients. Neck, shoulder, back and leg pain is not only the most common occupational-related disease of professional drivers, but also common among office workers, teachers and middle-aged and elderly people. In recent years, there is an obvious trend of rejuvenation. Many primary and middle school students are addicted to mobile phones and computer games, do not pay attention to correct reading, writing and sitting posture, and are unwilling to take part in physical exercise. Symptoms of neck, shoulder, waist and leg pain in adolescence are worrying!
Spinal experts in Zhuhai Hospital of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine called for the key to protect the spine to start with dolls! Because spinal degeneration is a chronic process for decades, premature "learning to walk" and premature "carrying a schoolbag" may make people's spine "overwhelmed" before it matures. School-age children should pay more attention to developing correct reading and writing posture, and adults should try to reduce their desk work and bend hard after they have symptoms of low back and leg pain, and carry out reasonable exercise training. Simple sports such as "flying swallow" and "five-point support", as well as sports activities such as swimming, cycling and playing badminton.
