Weather neck

Cervical spondylosis is easy to recur not only in autumn and winter, but also in hot summer. The hotter it is in summer, the more people like to use air conditioners. Air conditioning is really a bad thing. The wind it blows gives people a particularly cold feeling, which is different from the natural wind. People who are not used to blowing air conditioners can't stand staying in air-conditioned rooms for a while. Many people will feel stiff and painful after blowing the air conditioner.

Usually in air-conditioned places, you must wear a coat or a soft silk scarf. The air conditioner should be set at about 26 degrees Celsius, which is more energy-saving and will not cause too much harm to the body. If the body is sweating, it is best not to blow the air conditioner, especially to avoid direct blowing; People who often use air conditioners should regularly open windows for ventilation to prevent colds.

Also, no matter how hot it is in summer, it is best not to take a bath with cold water. Many people like to exercise in summer. They came back from exercise, went directly into the shower room, picked up the shower head, opened the cold water valve and poured it down. Let me see, where was the first watering? It's the neck. Cold enters the body from the neck, so can the cervical vertebra be cured? Therefore, no matter how hot it is in summer, you should take a bath with warm water. Moreover, taking a bath with warm water is actually easier to cool down than taking a bath with cold water.

In summer, many people like sleeping on mats and pillows, but they are very particular. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, sleeping mats (such as bamboo or linen sleeping mats) and sleeping pillows belong to yin. When we sleep at night, sweat pores are mostly in a relaxed state. At this time, cold easily invades the body and induces cervical spondylosis. Especially those who are physically weak and afraid of the cold, don't use a mat, let alone sleep in an air-conditioned room. If you must sleep on a mat, you must put sheets on it when you sleep; Cover your shoulders, spine and abdomen with blankets or thin quilts when you sleep at night.

What are the symptoms of cervical spondylosis? How can I judge whether I have cervical spondylosis? There is a very simple way, that is, through the "self-evaluation form of TCM symptoms of Diao's spondylopathy".

There are symptoms in the picture. We should first doubt whether there is anything wrong with the cervical vertebra, and then do a standard X-ray examination as soon as possible.

Some people may ask, "Is there a simpler way for teachers to directly judge whether there is anything wrong with their cervical vertebrae?" Generally speaking, cervical spondylosis mainly manifests as head and neck pain, facial features, shoulder and back pain and stiff neck. According to this hint, we can preliminarily judge whether there is something wrong with our cervical spine. You can check the mobility of the cervical spine first, that is, slowly turn your head in all directions to see if there is pain in your neck. If there is pain, it is necessary to doubt the possibility of cervical spondylosis.

Then how do you judge which part of the cervical vertebra has a problem? You can lower your head slightly, starting from the most prominent seventh cervical vertebra, and gently press the cervical vertebra and the left and right sides with your hands. If there is a positive reaction point, you will feel tenderness, or touch a cord-like, sandy lump, which may be the place where the cervical vertebra has problems.
