What does cervical spondylosis sleep correctly

summary

My mother suffers from cervical spondylosis. As long as she lowers her head or leans on the sofa to watch TV for a long time, her neck and cervical spine will be particularly painful. When I went to the hospital for examination, the doctor said that the correct sleeping posture of patients is the key. Next, I will tell you what the correct sleeping posture of cervical spondylosis is.

What does cervical spondylosis sleep correctly

First: correct sleeping position. Generally supine, lateral is appropriate. It is not suitable to use the prone position when the neck joint is in tension and prone position. Correct bad posture and habits. It's a principle to prevent long-lasting single posture and muscle fatigue.

Second: according to the need and the position of the upper center of gravity line of the body, there are two kinds of sitting posture: the back sitting posture and the front sitting posture. When sitting in the posterior position, the line of gravity is behind the ischial tubercle. At this time, the back must lean. This kind of sitting position is not easy to be tired, suitable for rest, but not suitable for desk work. When sitting in the front position, the body parts are naturally relaxed, the body is dry, the chest part is tilted forward about 15 degrees, the head is tilted forward 15 degrees from the trunk, the waist is gently against the back of the chair, and the forearm is placed on the table. This position can not only meet the needs of desk work, but also reduce fatigue.

Third: sitting time should not be too long, more than half an hour to an hour to do some activities. You can use both hands to press, push, rub and point the neck soft tissue, relieve muscle tension or muscle spasm, and release the posterior cervical muscles. Or cross your fingers, hold your back neck, straighten your head and neck back, and push your hands forward. Repeat 30-50 times each time. In addition, the body position can be changed continuously. The distance between the eyes and the table is about 30 cm when lying at the desk, which can reduce fatigue.
