Why do I always twist my neck when I sleep?

Certain bad habits in daily life and work are the cause of neck and shoulder soreness, such as typing or working on a computer terminal, frequent long hours of reading, or playing mahjong for long periods of time. Neck muscles are affected by these habits for a long time, causing neck pain by protruding the head forward, disrupting normal posture. The following is a simple set of shoulder and neck exercises, the movements should be gentle, the breathing should be natural, and each movement can be repeated 3 to 5 times:

Take a slow, deep breath and turn your head to the left to look at your left shoulder, then to your right shoulder. Then retract the chin back and forth to relax the neck muscles. Raise your shoulders toward your ears, straighten your back, and sag your shoulders as low as possible. Move your shoulders in a circular motion, first lifting your shoulders and turning them forward, then turning them backwards.

Sit with your hands flat on your thighs, slowly lower your chin to your chest, then turn your head in a circle from left to right and from right to left, inhale deeply and exhale loudly to make your head and neck feel comfortable in a slow turn. Don't worry if you have a crackling sound, it's just the sound of muscles or ligaments grazing against bones as they stretch. Tilt your head to your left shoulder, place your left hand over the top of your head to the right of your head, and place your other hand on your right shoulder; Then try to pull your head to the left very gently; Tilt your head to your right shoulder and do the same.

If you feel too much pressure on your hands, you can simply go to the hospital with severe pain, inconvenience at work, and multiple trips to the hospital**. After reading the massage book, when it comes to the method of stiff neck, each book is different, which can be summarized as massaging Tianqiu, Tianchi, dumb door, Tianling, shoulder Yu, shoulder well, Bingfeng, or mastoid process, hair back, hand Sanli, etc. In my practice, the lower part of the stump is the best acupuncture point.

Acupressure is used to remove the disease. If it is combined with the above acupuncture points, the effect is more ideal. When someone falls stiff, use this method many times, and the effect is also good.

It's a matter of sleeping position, don't always sleep in one position, it's much better to turn over often.

Family members can help stiff neck patients to massage, warm compresses to reduce pain: (1) Massage: Stand behind the stiff neck, use one finger to gently press the neck, find out the most painful point, and then use one thumb to start from the top of the side of the neck, until the shoulder and back, massage in turn, massage the most painful point vigorously, until the feeling of obvious soreness means that the strength is enough, so repeatedly massage 2 3 times, and then use the hollow fist to gently tap the massaged part, repeat 2 3 times.

Repeating the above massage and light percussion can quickly relax the spasmodic neck muscles and relieve pain. (2) Hot compress: The use of hot water bottles, electric hand stoves, hot towels and infrared light bulbs can play a pain-relieving role.

Care must be taken to prevent burns. (3) Use safflower oil, Gancunshan rheumatism oil, cloud essence, etc., rub the sore spots, 2 to 3 times a day, and have a certain effect. (4) The pain relief ointment and puffing incense analgesic sound are attached to the neck pain and replaced once a day, and the pain-relieving effect is ideal, but the neck activity of the patient is limited after the self-feeling plaster, and pregnant women should not use it.

5) Auricular acupuncture: The auricular acupuncture points are buried in the neck and occipital area, and the above auricular acupoints are pressed with the tip of the index finger for 5 10 minutes, or the above auricular acupoints are massaged with the tip of the index finger. (6) Acupuncture:

Those who can't pitch back and forth take Dashu, Jinggu acupoint, Kunlun acupoint; Those who can't look back left and right should take the shoulder outside Yu, Houxi, and Fengchi acupoints. Generally, you can take the hanging bell acupoint, located in the outer hole of the foot three inches, acupuncture 4 5 minutes, moxibustion 3 7 strong, you can also massage this acupoint, 15 minutes each time. (7) Oral pain relief tablet 1 tablet, which has a temporary analgesic effect.

6. Neck side wrenching method.

Have the doctor stand behind the patient and the patient sit in a chair. The doctor's right hand is open and stuck on the left side of the neck, and the left hand is pulled on the right side of the head, and the patient is instructed to fully relax and put the two hands in opposite directions. When the side is bent to the maximum angle, pull it with a little force, and it can make a "sound", and then apply it to the opposite side with the same method.

How to prevent a crooked neck?

1. Prepare a good pillow.

According to the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the human neck, a suitable pillow should neither be too high nor too low. It should be mastered at 10-15 cm as appropriate. The pillow should not be too wide and too light, the width should be equivalent to the distance from the shoulder to the ear, and the softness should be easy to deform.

Second, do a good job of cold protection and warmth.

When sleeping, the quilt should not only cover the whole body, but also cover the neck and "pull the quilt" upward. When the weather is hot, do not blow your neck to the electric fan for a long time, and do not sleep in a place with "passing wind", so as not to cause neck muscle spasm and induce stiff neck. People who sit at the desk for a long time should not forget neck health care, and should often get up and move their necks to prevent chronic strain of neck muscles.

Most often, pillows are caused by an overstretched or bent neck due to a poor sleeping position or an unsuitable pillow. In addition, excessive deflection of the neck length over a period of time can also lead to falls. Waking up in the morning to rest? Teach you some quick relief.

<> addition, drunkenness, rain, cold, cold and wet weather, diseases (such as pharyngitis, neck and shoulder sprains, cervical muscle tone, etc.) are factors closely related to falls. The cushion feels too bad, and it may break the cushion in the morning. After the fall, the neck seemed to be stuck.

At this time, someone may have the feeling that twisting the neck in the opposite direction, just pass that hurdle, the mat. In fact, they probably did the same thing.

However, such forced torsion can cause new damage, which will not only not allow the cushion to heal, but will also leave a hidden danger. When falling, some people will find someone to rub the affected area vigorously, or they cannot find a professional "reduction" massage, which will cause more painful pressure and dizziness, headache, numbness and other consequences. Waking up in the morning to rest?

Teach you some quick relief. Ancient Chinese doctors said they were working, so what should we do? It is advisable to use a self-handling and relatively safe method – hand pinching of the hole.

First, find the right acupuncture points. The drop point is located on the back of the human hand. Two bones can be felt by touching the middle and index fingers to the wrist, the epiphyseal of the middle and index fingers.

Find this acupuncture point and press it hard, and the person will have a strong pain sensation. This moment means that you are not in the right place. Otherwise, it's wrong research.

Then press firmly while moving the neck slowly, and after finding the right acupuncture points, pressing firmly can relieve the neck pain to some extent. Because both hands have pillow holes, how to press which side.

Which side of the acupuncture point is sensitive and obviously press which side. Press down while slowly moving the neck, from small to large. After pressing, you can feel a noticeable reduction in pain.

The range of motion in the neck can also be improved, and improvements can usually be observed within a few days. Also, take a good rest after the fall and don't stay up too late to avoid overloading your neck. In addition, you can also apply a warm compress to the painful area, which helps to improve local blood circulation.

You should twist your neck more, twist it in the opposite direction, twist it a few times, and massage it for another half an hour, so that your neck will become comfortable and return to its original state.

First, turn your neck slightly, then twist your head and neck back and forth, and then slowly straighten it with your hands.
