Can "hanging" exercise cure cervical spondylosis? Note: Nerve tissue may be damaged

release time:2022-02-21|reading:

       Cervical spondylosis is a group of diseases with corresponding clinical symptoms caused by stimulation or compression of adjacent spinal cord, nerves and blood vessels due to degeneration of cervical intervertebral disc or small joint.

  Degenerative lesions of cervical vertebrae mostly occur in lower cervical vertebrae, and the course of disease is diverse, most of which are chronic, recurrent and progressive.

  Can "hanging" exercise treat cervical spondylosis?

  There is a rumor that hanging your head and shaking and swinging with these ropes can repair the cervical physiological diseases.

  The fact is that the "neck hanging exercise" is similar to the clinical "cervical traction", and is keen on the "neck hanging exercise" of middle-aged and elderly people, believing that the cervical traction is good for the cervical spine.

  But the answer is no.

  This inappropriate "neck hanging exercise" has a traction force far greater than the needs of clinical treatment, which may damage nerve tissues, muscles, tendons and ligaments, aggravate the disease, and even lead to paraplegia, endangering life.

  Traction treatment needs to follow two principles, namely symptom principle and appropriate principle.

  Clinically, there are two types of cervical spondylosis suitable for traction:

  One is chronic neck and shoulder pain. Moderate traction can relax tense muscles and effectively relieve pain symptoms.

  The other is cervical spondylosis of nerve root type, which is generally characterized by radiating pain or numbness in the upper limbs, heavy feeling, and decreased grip strength. Appropriate traction treatment can be selected, but excessive force and time should not be used.

  The "hanging" exercise like the one above is certainly not advisable.

  It should also be noted that traction treatment is prohibited for cervical spondylosis clinically diagnosed as "spinal cord type is unstable cervical spondylosis, and cervical spondylosis with vertigo symptoms". The reason is that high-strength "hanging neck" traction may cause unstable damage to the structure of intervertebral disc nucleus, compress nerves, further aggravate pain and numbness symptoms, and even lead to paralysis and death.

  Therefore, before traction treatment, relevant examinations must be improved in a regular hospital, evaluated by a professional doctor, and traction treatment must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.

  Learn to keep away from cervical spondylosis through several other small movements

  Cervical spondylosis is a degenerative and aging disease. However, in recent years, the incidence of cervical spondylosis has been rising, and the age of onset is gradually showing a young trend. A considerable number of young patients are computer families or mobile phone families.

  In fact, most cervical spondylosis does not require surgery as the first choice.

  Cervical spondylosis of "myelopathy" type generally requires surgery as soon as possible to save the spinal cord function and avoid irreversible nerve injury and varying degrees of sensory injury.

  "Nerve root type" cervical spondylosis can be treated conservatively in the early stage, and a considerable number of patients can be improved or maintained.

  However, if the conservative treatment of severe nerve root compression is ineffective, active surgical decompression is still required.

  The human spine does not move through a straight stick, but a soft, curved "multi stick" composed of 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae and sacrococcygeal pressures, which is also the basis of the human S-shaped curve. There are some physiological lordosis in the cervical spine.

  Maintaining a normal physiological curve can maximize the extension and flexion functions, buffer stability, and protect the spinal cord.

  Therefore, we should pay attention to the protection of cervical vertebra in daily life, which can delay the degeneration process of cervical vertebra.

  For patients with cervical spondylosis undergoing treatment, effective rehabilitation exercise is also helpful to improve the efficacy and control the development of the disease.

  To avoid long-term face-to-face contact, use the phone and keep your posture.

  After working for more than an hour, you should stand up for about ten minutes to relax yourself properly.

  Cross your hands behind the pillow and stretch your neck slightly.

  In the static state, push the head backward and hit the hand forward.

  Feel the muscles on both sides of the neck contract and relax for 10 seconds. Repeat 3 times a day for 10-15 minutes each time for 3 months.

  Cervical curvature can be gradually improved, and early symptoms can be relieved.

  The most important thing is to stay away from "real" cervical spondylosis.

  Lie on your back, take off the pillow, lift your shoulders and back with your arms and legs for 3-5 seconds, then relax your muscles and let your shoulders rest for 3-5 seconds.

  At the same time, it can effectively exercise back muscles, which is also good for patients with chronic low back pain.

  Gradually adjust the intensity according to your physical strength.

  Swimming, especially the backward stretching of breaststroke, is also an anti bow posture. By improving muscle training, the stability of the cervical spine can be increased, so that the function of the cervical spine can recover to the physiological natural curvature.

  When the symptoms of cervical spondylosis are obvious and you should not exercise, you should not blindly massage, but should have a proper rest.

  In case of serious illness, it is necessary to go to a regular hospital and ask an orthopedic doctor for judgment and guidance.

  Proper neck muscle movement can only be used to prevent recurrence and relieve.
