The woman twisted her neck a few times due to pain

The cervical muscle tendons are the source of our soreness. Incorrect posture and long-term lack of muscle tendon strength require us to frequently change postures, which can easily cause discomfort when the nerves are compressed. Incorrect postures can more easily lead to the formation of bone spurs, and our muscle tissues cannot withstand long-term pressure and wear.

Causes of neck pain

Bad posture: It is the most common cause of cervical spondylosis, such as watching TV series, reading books, sleeping with a high pillow, sitting down, etc.; sleeping in a car, the muscle protection function is poor during sleep, and the neck is prone to injury when braking.

Chronic infection: mainly tonsillitis, followed by caries, periodontitis, otitis media, etc.

Rheumatic and cold factors: Rheumatic and cold factors in the external environment can reduce the body's tolerance to pain, causing muscle spasms, small blood vessel constriction, slowed lymphatic return, and obstructed blood circulation in soft tissues, leading to radiculitis. This is also a common cause of cervical spondylosis.

Incomplete development of the cervical vertebrae structure: congenitally small spinal canal, cervical vertebrae degeneration, etc. are all common causes of cervical spondylosis.

Muscle strain: Keeping the head and neck in a single posture for a long time, such as working with the head lowered for a long time, can easily cause cervical spondylosis.

Head and neck trauma: 50% of cervical spondylosis is caused by neck trauma. Some patients have cervical vertebrae that are in a critical state of narrowness due to cervical spondylosis, cervical disc bulging, and soft tissue degeneration in the spinal canal, and cervical trauma often causes the disease.

Neck pain caused by using the wrong pillow core can affect the cervical vertebrae

The pillow core plays a key role in people's sleep quality. The wrong pillow and sleep quality become the "accomplice" of cervical spondylosis. Incorrect sitting posture, lowering the head to look at the phone, professional work, lack of exercise... these factors that cause cervical spondylosis have been widely known, but there is another important factor that is easily overlooked, that is sleep quality. "Many people experience neck and back pain, numbness in the limbs and other discomforts when they wake up in the morning, which mainly manifests as the symptoms of 'stiff neck'. People generally think that it is caused by a bad sleeping posture or air conditioning. In fact, this may be caused by an unsuitable pillow core. If the pillow core is used improperly for a long time, it will cause changes in the curvature of the cervical spine, resulting in chronic muscle strain such as cervical vertebrae imbalance, joint displacement, ligament injury, etc., which will develop into cervical spondylosis over time.

Neck pain: The pillow is too high, which is equivalent to lowering your head all night.

As the saying goes, "no worries, no worries", in fact, the choice of pillow core should not be too high or too low. Experts point out that if the pillow is too high and you bow your head all night, it is easy to cause cervical hyperextension, which will cause excessive pressure on the neck, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the head and neck, and it is easy to cause tracheal obstruction, causing hypoxia and ischemia, resulting in headaches, dizziness, tinnitus, insomnia and other symptoms. Some people with cervical spondylosis believe that a lower pillow or even no pillow is helpful to alleviate the symptoms. In fact, a pillow that is too low will cause the cervical spine to straighten, which can also easily cause blood supply imbalance. Moreover, when sleeping, the muscles relax and most of the force on the neck is applied to the cervical vertebrae, which can easily cause disc herniation.

The ideal pillow core that can protect the stability of the cervical vertebra is the heat-shrink sponge pillow core. The Kangjin Shule pillow core made of heat-shrink sponge pillow core is usually because the shape of the pillow core must first be ergonomically based on the overall normal physiological curve, so that no matter lying on the back, sleeping on the side, the position of the cervical vertebra, and the normal physiological curve of the respiratory system can be restored. At the same time, the bearing capacity and softness are more stable than slow rebound memory pillows and natural latex pillows due to the use of high-temperature heat-shrink special sponge. The basic principles of ergonomics are more conducive to improving the stability of the cervical vertebrae.
