Lost pillow can develop into cervical spondylosis

One is to feel the wind and cold, such as cold sleep, so that the back of the neck Qi and blood stagnation, tendons and collaterals blocked, resulting in stiffness and pain, adverse movements.

Second, neck muscle sprain, such as bad sleeping posture at night, head and neck in excessive deflection position for a long time; or because of inappropriate sleeping pillow, too high, too low or too hard, so that the head and neck are in an overextended or overflexed state, resulting in neck muscle tension, loss of the function of maintaining cervical joint stability, therefore, pillow drop is also known as "cervical spine instability".

If the facet joint of cervical spine continues to lose stability and dislocation, it will affect the intervertebral disc, accelerate the osteoporosis around the cervical spine, lead to smaller foramen deformation, oppress the spinal cord, nerves and blood vessels, and then develop into cervical spondylosis. So pillow falling is not a minor problem.

After getting up in the morning, the pain and discomfort in the back and upper back of the neck protruded, and one side was the most common one. Because of pain, the neck movement is unfavorable and can not rotate freely. In severe cases, it is difficult to pitch. Even the head is rigid to the abnormal position, which makes the head lean to the side of the disease. Doctors found that the neck muscles had tenderness, the superficial muscles had spasm and stiffness, and felt "rope feeling".

the way to distinguish

The symptoms of cervical spondylosis can disappear or alleviate when the patient's head and neck are pulled upward with a little force of both hands, while the pain of the patients who fall off the pillow is aggravated. Because the muscles are in a state of spasm after pillow falling, it is easy to aggravate the injury and cause the pain to aggravate during traction.

therapeutic method

There are many treatments for pillow falling, which are similar to those for cervical spondylosis.

Manipulative tendon manipulation, acupuncture, medicine, hot compress and so on have good effects. Patient can do point pressing manipulation at the pain point. When point pressing, it is advisable not to cause pain and have a sense of acid swelling. You can also pinch the muscles in the pain area, which can relieve pain and muscle spasm. If conditions permit, further manual treatment can be carried out in the hospital.

When falling off the pillow, it can also be taken orally with drugs for activating blood circulation and relaxing tendons, soothing wind and activating collaterals, or applied externally with plasters for activating blood circulation and relieving pain; it can also be treated with acupuncture or ear acupuncture; it can also be sealed with 5 ml of 2% lidocaine. These measures can make the symptoms disappear or alleviate.

Choosing the right pillow and keeping the right sleep posture are the keys to prevent pillow falling and protect cervical vertebra.

1、 Cervical functional exercises, such as "rice" exercises, are a kind of simple neck health exercises. The method is as follows: Open your feet, shoulder width, arms akimbo. Look up at the moon, look down at the ground, head and neck rotate left and right. The above actions should be slow and try to achieve the range.

2、Choose a pillow that meets the physiological requirements: when lying on the back, the pillow can keep the curvature of the neck; when lying on the back, the edge of the pillow should be curved, not sloping; the height of the pillow should meet the needs of the shoulder width of the individual. Rough standard is that supine pillow height is about one punch, side pillow height should be one punch plus two fingers.

3、To avoid cold, wind and rain, we must cover the quilt well when sleeping at night, especially the shoulder and neck quilt fortress on both sides, so as to avoid the wind and cold evil gas invading the neck and shoulder when sleeping, which causes stagnation of Qi and blood and damage of the veins and collaterals.

The onset of falling pillow is faster, and the course of disease is also short. It can recover within one week. The presence of cervical spondylosis should be taken into account if the pillow symptoms recur repeatedly or persist for a long time. If the middle-aged and old people often fall asleep repeatedly and often are the precursor symptoms of cervical spondylosis, they should take X-ray of cervical spondylosis in time to determine whether there is cervical spondylosis.
