What should I do if my mother has cervical vertebrae problems?

Nowadays, more and more women suffer from cervical spondylosis. The main reason is that women need to maintain the same posture for a long time in their daily lives, especially white-collar workers, customer service staff, and people working at the counter. If they keep working at a desk for a long time and keep the same posture for a long time, they are likely to have some cervical spondylosis problems. What should we pay attention to?

The prevention of cervical spondylosis is mainly to slow down the process of cervical disc degeneration. Bad sleeping position, improper working posture and inappropriate physical exercise are common causes of cervical spondylosis.

Self-exercise therapy:

1. Neck exercise: Tilt your head forward ten times, tilt it back ten times, tilt it to the left ten times, and tilt it to the right ten times. Then slowly shake your head, turning left ten times and right ten times.

2. Shake your upper limbs: shake your left arm twenty times, then shake your right arm twenty times.

3. Practice your fingers by grabbing the air; stretch your arms out and flex and extend the five fingers of both hands. You can do this 50 times.

4. Local massage: You can find tender points, nodules or muscle tension near the neck, Dazhui point and Fengchi point, and rub, press, push and pinch these reaction points.

5. Remote acupoint pressing: look for tender points on the back of the hand, the back of the foot, the anterior and lateral sides of the buttocks, and the outer sides of the calves. Apply acupoint massage on this reaction point.

6. Rub your palms and waist: Put your palms together and rub them to warm them up. Then rub your hands on your waist, moving up and down, for 50 times.

7. Pinch the ankle tendons: Use your hands alternately to pinch the large tendons behind the ankle.

8. Pinch and rub the Ren Zhong point with your thumb and index finger.

9. Lift and rub the ears; pull the ears with your hands, then rub them until the ears become warm.

You can perform the procedure once a day. The technique should be used from light to heavy gradually, and the intensity should be within the tolerance level. If the treatment is performed according to the law, it will generally be effective in 1-2 months.

In addition to the above, patients with cervical spondylosis should also pay attention to their sleeping environment, try to raise the pillow to a moderate level, and make the pillow and quilt as soft as possible. This will make sleeping more comfortable and avoid stiff neck. If the condition has obviously worsened and you always feel pain, it is best to go to the hospital for examination and surgical treatment if necessary.
