Why do I have pain in my cervical spine during menstruation?

Many people often feel uncomfortable cervical pain during menstruation. This is a problem often encountered by office workers. There is a certain connection between menstruation and cervical pain. Because the body will be weaker during menstruation, it is natural to experience pain and fatigue in many parts of the body.

The best exercise for cervical spondylosis

We all know that today's computer users work with their heads down for long periods of time, which can easily damage the cervical spine. Therefore, office computer users are a high-risk group for cervical spondylosis. It is recommended that friends who face the computer every day should protect their cervical vertebrae from now on.

Computer users who work in offices for a long time, due to long-term work with their heads down, keep the cervical spine in a flexed position or certain specific postures for a long time, which not only increases the pressure in the cervical intervertebral disc, but also makes the neck muscles in a state of uncoordinated stress for a long time, making the muscles and ligaments in the back of the neck susceptible to traction and strain.

In addition, excessive twisting and lateral flexion can further lead to injuries, and coupled with long-term lack of exercise, cervical spondylosis is very likely to occur.

Do you know how computer users should protect their cervical vertebrae? Because of the importance of the cervical vertebrae, we have to protect our cervical vertebrae from now on.

1. Change your sitting posture

I spend a long time on the computer every day, and I have to take the bus or drive after work, so the sitting time is particularly long, and cervical spondylosis is caused by "sitting".

Establishing a correct sitting posture can reduce the risk of cervical spondylosis by at least 40%. Customizing a work surface with an angle of 10 to 30 degrees with the desktop is more conducive to adjusting the sitting posture. General computer keys

2. Massage your ears every day

Massaging your ears every day can protect your cervical and lumbar vertebrae. The hardest ridge on the ear is the helix. Follow the auricle and find the acupuncture point at the upper end, which corresponds to the lumbar vertebrae.

The acupoint at the lower end of our ear corresponds to what we call the cervical vertebrae. And at the upper 2/5 point, there is the acupuncture point that controls our thoracic spine. So our ears are a gathering place for nerve endings, and our spine is the place where the human body's nerves are most concentrated.

When you use your thumb and index finger to pinch these three acupoints, you can stimulate the reflex of the nerve endings in the ear and transmit the reflex to the spine. Continuous stimulation can stimulate blood circulation in the spine and play a role in health care and disease prevention.

3. Actively adjust the temperature in the morning

Whether in winter or summer, you must keep your cervical spine at a comfortable temperature. Even for the sake of beauty, you should prepare a shawl in the office to protect your neck and back.

If you occasionally catch a cold, make yourself a bowl of soup to drive away the cold. The method is as follows: take 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 7 slices of ginger, put the brown sugar, ginger and appropriate amount of water into the pot, and boil for 10 minutes. You can drink 1 dose daily, divided into 2 times.

4. Sports head

For those who work at a desk for a long time, they should purposefully turn their head and neck to the left and right several times every 1 to 2 hours. The movement should be gentle and slow, so as to achieve the maximum range of motion in that direction.

You can also do the shoulder squeeze exercise, slowly tighten your shoulders for 3 to 5 seconds, then hold your shoulders upward for 3 to 5 seconds, repeat 6 to 8 times; you can also use two desks, support your body with your hands on the desk, lift your feet off the ground, tilt your head back, hold for 5 seconds, and repeat 3 to 5 times.

5. Do some exercise after lunch break

Many white-collar workers have the habit of taking a nap after lunch. If they can get up and do chest expansion exercises or other movements after the rest, it will be of great help in relieving cervical pain.
