Got cervical spondylosis, what should I do?
First of all, patients with cervical spondylosis can fly kites outdoors more. When flying a kite, they will constantly look up at the kite from left to right, which can stretch the muscles of the cervical spine, maintain the elasticity of the ligament, and relieve the tension of the muscles around the cervical spine and relieve the pain of cervical spine problems.
Secondly, swimming is also good for cervical spondylosis. When swimming, the spine is horizontal, which can reduce the pressure on the spine. In addition, the water flow will also play a massage role on the spine, and when swimming, the cervical vertebra should be stretched backwards all the time, which is equivalent to training the muscles around the cervical vertebra in a targeted way, which is more conducive to the rehabilitation of cervical spondylosis.
Third, pay attention to sleeping position. Sleeping alone in the lateral position will limit the diaphragm and make the spine lose support. Especially when the mattress is soft and the pillow is high, the cervical vertebra will be in a state of tension all night. In addition, it will also cause insufficient blood supply to vertebral artery, which will not only aggravate the problem of cervical vertebra, but also cause dizziness. Therefore, for patients with cervical spondylosis, if you choose a sleeping position in the lateral position, you should choose a mattress with moderate hardness and ensure that the pillow is not too high. You can also put a pillow between your knees, which can prevent the spine from being excessively bent. As for prone position, it is the most unfriendly sleeping position for patients with cervical spondylosis. This sleeping position will not only increase the pressure on the cervical spine, but also oppress other organs, affecting breathing, and it is especially easy to get stiff neck.
Finally, jogging, Tai Ji Chuan and other sports are also good choices for the rehabilitation of cervical spondylosis.
