First, the prevention of cervical spondylosis (1) Read books about cervical spondylosis and master scientific means to prevent and treat diseases. (2) Stay optimistic, establish the idea of fighting against diseases, and cooperate with doctors to reduce recurrence. (3) Strengthen the exercise of neck and shoulder muscles. At work or after work, doing flexion, extension and rotation of the head and upper limbs can not only relieve fatigue, but also develop muscles and enhance toughness, thus contributing to the stability of the cervical spine and enhancing the adaptability of the neck and shoulders to sudden changes in the neck. (4) Avoid the bad habit of sleeping on a high pillow. The high pillow bends the head forward, which increases the stress of the lower cervical spine and may accelerate the degeneration of the cervical spine. (5) Pay attention to keep the neck and shoulders warm, avoid heavy objects on the head and neck, avoid excessive fatigue, and don't doze off when riding. (6) Early and thorough treatment of soft tissue strain of neck, shoulder and back to prevent it from developing into cervical spondylosis. (seven) to prevent flash and contusion when working or walking. (8) Those who work at their desks for a long time should change their head position regularly and do neck and shoulder muscle exercises on time. (9) Pay attention to the correct posture of head, neck, shoulders and back, and don't shrug, talk or look straight when reading. Keep your spine upright. (10) Chinese medicine believes that walnut, dogwood, rehmannia root and black sesame have the functions of tonifying kidney and promoting marrow. If eaten in a reasonable amount, it can strengthen bones and muscles and delay the degeneration of kidneys and joints. Second, the beds of patients with cervical spondylosis have their own advantages and disadvantages, which are related to their personal residence, climate, living habits and economic situation. However, from the perspective of preventing cervical spondylosis, it is better to choose a bed that is conducive to the stability of the disease and the balance of the spine. Therefore, it is best to choose an elastic Simmons mattress on the bed board. It can be adjusted with the physiological curve of the spine. Three, cervical spondylosis patients pillow is the main tool to maintain the normal position of the head and neck. This "normal" position refers to maintaining the physiological curve of the head and neck section itself. This weight curve not only ensures the external muscle balance of the cervical spine, but also maintains the physiological and anatomical state in the spinal canal. Therefore, the ideal pillow should meet the requirements of physiological curvature of cervical spine, with soft texture and good air permeability, especially the middle and low-end ingot shape. Because this shape can maintain the physiological curvature of the cervical spine by using the concave part in the middle, it can also play a relative role in braking and fixing the head and neck, which can reduce the abnormal activities of the head and neck during sleep. Secondly, the choice of pillow core content is also very important. Commonly used are: ① Buckwheat skin: cheap and breathable, and the height of the pillow can be adjusted at any time. ② Pu Rong: Soft texture and good air permeability, which can be adjusted at any time. ③ Mung bean shell: not only breathable, but also cool and relieve summer heat. It would be better to add a proper amount of tea or mint, but it is mainly used in summer. Others, such as duck feathers, are also good, but the price is higher. The pillow should not be too high or too low, and it is best to relax at the back. Generally speaking, the height of the pillow is 8 ~ 15 cm, or calculated according to the formula: (shoulder width-head width) ÷2. Cervical pillow can also play a preventive or therapeutic role. Diet for cervical spondylosis: 60g old mulberry branches, hen 1 hen (about 1000g), and a little salt. Methods: 1. Wash chicken and cut into pieces; 2. Put it into the pot with the old mulberry branches; 3. Add appropriate amount of soup and seasoning. Efficacy: tonify kidney, replenish essence and dredge meridians. It is suitable for cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. Usage: Eat chicken with soup. Cervical spondylosis is a general term for cervical osteoarthritis, hyperplastic cervicitis, cervical nerve root syndrome and cervical disc herniation. It is mainly due to long-term strain of cervical vertebra, hyperosteogeny, or disc herniation, ligament thickening, compression of cervical spinal cord, nerve root or vertebral artery, leading to a series of clinical syndromes of dysfunction. This disease belongs to the category of arthralgia syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine. Clinical syndrome differentiation is mainly divided into two types: liver and kidney deficiency and wind-cold-dampness arthralgia.
