What is cervical curvature straightening?
Many people have the problem of cervical curvature straightening, and it is not a minority.Cervical physiological curvature straightens, also known as the disappearance of cervical physiological curvature or the reverse arch of cervical physiological curvature.When the sitting posture is incorrect for a long time, or the fatigue for a long time, the cervical vertebra lacks activity, spinal injury, spinal calcification and so on, the physiological curvature of the cervical vertebra will become straight.
First, let's see what a healthy cervical vertebra looks like.
The normal cervical vertebra has a "C" structure,The cervical vertebra has a forward bulge, which is the basis of its mechanical structure. This "C" physiological curve can increase the elasticity and stability of cervical vertebra, reduce and buffer the impact and shock of gravity, and effectively protect the damage of external force to spinal cord and brain.
It is the existence of the "C" type physiological Radian that makes the 7 small bones that make up the cervical vertebra bear the weight of the whole head and complete various actions.
When the cervical curvature becomes straight or even the cervical reverse arch due to various reasons, this perfect arc does not exist.
. At this time, the flexibility of the cervical vertebra will be weakened, and the bearing capacity will also be weakened. Then, the cervical vertebra will undergo degenerative changes and cervical disc protrusion, causing pain, dizziness, numbness, etc.
The most direct way to judge whether your cervical curvature becomes straight is to go to the hospital to take X-ray. In addition, we can roughly observe whether a person's cervical curvature becomes straight from our posture-when the cervical curvature becomes straight, the head stretches forward to form a habit, and the posture is ugly

What are the hazards of cervical curvature straightening?
The simple "cervical vertebra physiological curvature straightens" is not cervical spondylosis, but it usually represents that the cervical vertebra is in an unhealthy state.
The disappearance of cervical physiological curvature and the increase of cervical disc tension may lead to rupture of cervical Annulus fibrosus, disc swelling and inducing cervical spondylosis.
In addition,The symptoms caused by the straightening of cervical physiological curvature are more frightening.
1) neck pain, stiffness and tension.The imbalance of muscle strength before and after cervical vertebra leads to excessive stretching of part of neck muscles, resulting in muscle strain or tearing, leading to neck pain.
2) hand numbness, hand weakness and other symptoms.The physiological curvature of cervical vertebra can distribute the head weight evenly to each vertebra and intervertebral disc, reducing the pressure on cervical vertebra. Once the physiological curvature of the cervical vertebra becomes straight, the weight of the head will no longer be buffered and balanced by cervical lordosis, which will directly increase the pressure on the cervical disc and intensify the abrasion of the disc, which is more likely to cause disc herniation. When the protruding disc stimulates and compresses the nerve, it is easy to cause symptoms such as hand numbness or hand weakness.
3)Headache, dizziness and other brain blood supply insufficiency symptoms.On the cervical vertebra, the important blood vessels supplying blood to the brain need to pass through the cervical intervertebral foramen. Some studies have pointed out that in patients with cervical physiological curvature straightening, the distance between cervical vertebra bone and vertebra becomes narrower, and the blood vessels passing through the intervertebral foramen are oppressed, resulting in smaller diameter of blood vessels and less and slower blood flow. This will directly affect the cerebral blood supply, resulting in headache, dizziness and other symptoms of cerebral blood supply insufficiency.
To sum up, it is not good for the neck itself and affects various physiological functions through the neck, such as blood circulation, nerve conduction, etc.

How does the physiological curvature of cervical vertebra become straight?
Then, why does the cervical curvature become straight?
1. There are usually many reasons, suchIn cervical degeneration in the elderly,Decrease of water content, high loss and osteoporosis deformation of vertebral body.
2,Trauma may induce cervical physiological curvature straightening, many patients need to cooperate with several muscle groups around the cervical vertebra due to the strain and imbalance of the nearby muscles and the formation and maintenance of cervical curvature. If a part of the muscle is damaged and the balance is broken, the cervical vertebra bone will become deformed as time passes. Pulling to bones, causing cervical curvature to straighten. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to avoid trauma and other factors in daily life.
3,Many cervical spondylosis, such as cervical vertebra tumor, tuberculosis, suppurative infection, etc. can cause cervical vertebra physiological curvature to straighten, therefore, when cervical spondylosis occurs in daily life, patients should pay attention to it, try to avoid cervical vertebra physiological curvature straightening.
4, but if it happens in young and middle-aged people, it will lead to cervical curvature straighteningThe most common and main reason isLong-time incorrect sitting posture, tiredness and lack of interaction between cervical vertebraAnd other reasons.
Especially now manyLow-head People holding mobile phones every day, the muscles on the back of the cervical vertebra are in tension for a long time, while the muscles on the front of the cervical vertebra are in contracture for a long time. As time passes, the muscles on the back of the cervical vertebra are damaged or their elasticity decreases, and the strength of the muscles on the back of the cervical vertebra decreases, in the case of lack of muscle tension on the posterior side of cervical bone, the problem of cervical physiological curvature becoming straight gradually appears.

What if the physiological curvature of cervical vertebra becomes straight?
Can the physiological curvature of cervical vertebra be recovered?
First of all, understand
For young cervical vertebra (under 50 years old), cervical muscle and joint flexibility is better,It can completely restore the physiological curvature of cervical vertebra to the greatest extent by changing bad posture and practicing rehabilitation actions.But if yourThe curve straightens for a long time, accompanied by the proliferation of bone, degeneration of intervertebral disc and Annulus fibrosus, such a degree of curvatureDifficult to recoverOK.
In addition,For the elderly,Due to cervical degeneration, cervical joint muscle aging, excessive pursuit of recovery of physiological curvature is of little significance, and may also lead to cervical spondylosis symptoms, thereforeIt is not recommended to forcibly restore the physiological curvature of cervical vertebra.
3 actions to correct cervical curvature
First movement: neck auxiliary stretching exercise
1. Sit on the chair, stand up on the upper body
2. Take a towel and put it around your neck and straighten it forward
3. Tighten your chin and raise your head back
4, keep 10 miao
5. Relax and return to the original position, repeat 10 times
Second action: tension muscle massage
1. Sit on the chair, stand up on the upper body
2. Raise your head while pressing from the mastoid to the chest lock
3. Finish every action in ten seconds
4. Do it 10 times in 5 groups and 1 group every day
The third action: Dive
1. Lie down, put your arms on both sides of your body, and raise your upper limbs
2. Clamp the scapula, raise your head and neck at the same time, and look from left to right
3. Return the start position. Repeat 10 times
tips:About why exercise can adjust the straight cervical curvature?
This is because the cervical curvature becomes straight due to bad posture, which is often accompanied by imbalance of muscle strength before and after cervical vertebra.
For example, the back neck muscles often pulled by the posture of lowering head will have stronger strength than the front muscles, but at the same time they are more tight and stiff.
AndTargeted exercise rehabilitation can not onlyImproving imbalance between muscles,To help the cervical vertebra return to normal physiological curvature,Can also be re-createdTrain the brain to adapt to the adjusted physiological curvature,Avoid inadaptation during physiological curvature changesDizzyAnd other negative effects.
In addition, in addition to scientific exercise rehabilitation, it also needsCorrect bad postures such as extending head and neck forward, bending down and lowering head,ConsciouslyPositive correction of head and neck posture,This is an important step to prevent and adjust cervical curvature straightening.
