Why do I notice that my cervical spine rings when I move?

If you notice that the cervical spine makes a noise when it moves, it should be suffering from cervical spondylosis. The main reasons or pathological mechanisms for this condition are as follows:

Clause. 1. Due to a series of degenerative changes in the cervical spine, such as local bone hyperplasia, or hypertrophy and calcification of ligaments, or herniation of intervertebral discs, these conditions will lead to a great deterioration of the mobility and physiological curvature of the cervical spine.

Such patients will have some abnormal noises and jamming during activity due to the above-mentioned pathological changes when they are active.

Clause. 2. There may be some dislocation of facet joints, and the cervical spine has corresponding facet joints between each vertebral body and other accessories, and these facet joints sometimes produce local dislocations and subluxations due to the patient's strenuous activities or poor posture and other factors.

At this time, when the patient moves, the joint will slide unfavorably, and then produce abnormal noise.

Clause. 3. There are many patients who will sit and stand for a long time and keep the cervical spine still, and sudden movement at this time will also produce abnormal noises. The reasons for the sound of cervical spine rotation include physiological factors and pathological factors, and different methods are different.

1.Physiological factors.

A loud sound of cervical spine rotation may be caused by the cervical spine remaining motionless for a long time. Relief can be achieved through self-regulation such as maintaining correct work or life posture and proper neck movements. In daily life, we should pay attention to changing our living posture, avoid long-term bowing of the head at the desk, and avoid excessive forward tilt of the cervical spine.

2.Pathological factors.

Pathological factors such as microarticular degeneration or hyperplasia, ligament hardening or degeneration, facet joint ligament capsule sclerosis or cervical spine strain can cause the cervical spine to make a sound when it rotates. On the basis of improving living habits, drugs that promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis and relieve pain can generally be used, such as neck rehabilitation granules, diclofenac sodium, etc.; Physiotherapy, such as massage, acupuncture, and electrotherapy, can also be used to improve blood circulation, promote the metabolism of inflammatory metabolites, and relax surrounding muscles and ligaments to relieve symptoms.

If the effect is not obvious, or there is discomfort such as pain, you should go to the hospital in time and standardize under the guidance of a doctor.

This is cervical spine fatigue caused by long-term desk work, so it is necessary to exercise more, take time to walk outdoors, and reduce cervical spine fatigue.

For the symptoms of cervical hyperostosis, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in time, and then treat the symptoms**.

There is a sound when turning the neck, which should be analyzed according to the specific situation. If it is only an occasional snapping sound, and there is no discomfort such as soreness and pain in the nearby muscles, then it is normal for the joints and ligaments to make sounds. If the sound is accompanied by pain, or if the joints are struggling to rotate, then it is necessary to consider the possibility of cervical spine problems.

It is necessary to strengthen the exercise of the neck muscles, correct the bad body posture, try not to bow the head and look at the mobile phone for a long time, and supplement nutrition reasonably to improve the state of the intervertebral disc.

Most people's cervical spine problems are often due to the huge burden of high-intensity work on the cervical spine. Sitting in front of a computer for a long time and maintaining a working posture can easily lead to stiffness of the bone and ligament system. If this state is maintained for a long time, the intervertebral disc is prone to shrinkage due to water loss, and the friction between bones will increase.

This is where the sound of some people turning their necks comes from, which is actually a warning from the body. If effective measures are not taken to improve it, it will soon evolve into local pain, which will have a negative impact on people's work and life.

To protect the cervical spine, we must first start with the correct posture and habits. For computer people who work in the office, typing with their heads down is an inevitable action. However, in the process of work, attention should be paid to the relaxation of neck joints and muscles, such as taking a break after working for a period of time, moving the cervical spine and the whole body, and doing some stretching movements to dissipate the fatigue and stiffness of the cervical spine.

In daily life, it is more important not to lean on the sofa for a long time to brush your mobile phone, and it is recommended to use movements similar to the posture of reading, and sit upright naturally. When sleeping, you should also pay attention to the height and firmness of the pillow, so that the cervical spine is constantly in a state of fatigue.

In addition, it can also be appropriately combined with some health care techniques such as massage, compresses, and moxibustion to make the cervical spine get a better health state. In terms of diet, attention should also be paid to the reasonable intake of calcium.

Once there is a situation where the neck is turned and the noise is made, it is recommended to make a preliminary judgment on your own, which is an accidental sound under normal circumstances? Or is it an abnormality with pain or discomfort?

If it is an abnormal sound that represents a problem with the cervical spine, then the lifestyle habits should be corrected first, and the incorrect neck habits should be changed. In case the situation is more serious, there are problems such as persistent pain, inflexible joint movement, etc., you should seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's instructions for necessary **.

Because there is friction between the joints when rotating, and there is some lubricating liquid between the bones, bubbles may be formed during the rotation process, and the bubbles will burst or slide away to produce sound; It is not necessarily cervical spondylosis, but it should also be noted that if there is pain, then it is necessary to seek medical attention in time.

It may or may not be cervical spondylosis, but it is mainly caused by the movement of the joint capsule, or the lack of neck movement, so it makes a loud sound.

Because there is some friction between the joints, there is some rattling. Yes, you should pay attention to the protection of the cervical spine at this time.

Because your bones are crispy and you have symptoms of osteoporosis, it will make a loud sound. It is cervical spondylosis.

Hello landlord, this post about maintaining the cervical spine is very helpful to me, I recommend you to take a look.

Find an osteopathic doctor and ask relatives, friends or neighbors if they know anyone you know, the nerves in the neck are very dense, and there is no certainty that something is wrong.

Gas escape.

Between the joints of the human body, there is a fluid called synovial fluid, which is used to lubricate the joints. This synovial fluid contains gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. These gases form bubbles in the synovial fluid.

When we stretch our joints, the gas in the synovial fluid runs away at a rapid pace, causing a hiccup because the bubbles burst.

Joint displacement. When we move the joints, the tendons and ligaments are displaced. When the tendon ligaments return to their original position, you will sometimes hear a hiccup. This is more common in the knee and ankle.

Arthritis causes rough joint contact.

Arthritis destroys the cartilage tissue between the joints, causing the joint contact surfaces to no longer be smooth. In this case, the joint friction will produce a rattle.

Generally speaking, people who only have a snap, do not appear red, do not feel pain, and do not have an activity disorder are physiological popping, and do not need special treatment or be too anxious about it. When accompanied by pain or limited joint movement, a visit to the hospital is needed to determine if the joint is misaligned or damaged.

Soft tissue or ligament friction in the neck.

The muscles in our neck are divided into many layers. When we have muscle strain, there is some local inflammatory reaction, and the inflammatory response will make the sliding between the muscles not so smooth, so there will be a sound during activity. After the sound occurs, the original strain part will be relaxed, we sometimes feel that the sound is very comfortable after two sounds, but after a comfortable time, the symptoms will still come back, the main reason is soft tissue strain.

Five countermeasures to protect the cervical spine.

Sit upright and reduce bowing of the head.

When looking at your phone, it is best to place it in a direction parallel to your eye and do some movements such as tilting your head and shrugging your shoulders to relieve tension in the muscles of the cervical spine. Office workers who work in front of the computer, after using the computer for a while, can get up and move a little, turn the neck, and ensure that the ligaments on both sides of the neck can be evenly stretched.

The air conditioner is not blowing.

When turning on the air conditioner, don't blow the air conditioner directly on yourself, the pores of people's sweat are open, and the air conditioner blows directly, and the cold and dampness are easy to enter the human body, which will aggravate the calcification of the ligaments.

Keep exercising and strengthen your physique.

There are many benefits of exercise, it is not only conducive to the growth of human bones and muscles, but also to enhance cardiopulmonary function, improve the functional status of the circulatory system, respiratory system and digestive system, improve the body's ability to resist diseases, and enhance the body's adaptability. Good physical fitness also contributes to blood and gas circulation in the joints.

Rational use of pillows to protect the cervical spine.

The height of the pillow should also be reasonable, generally speaking, the height of almost a fist is appropriate; The pillow should also have good air permeability, comfortable hardness, and a good pillow can protect the cervical spine from compression.

Wear less heels and sit less on soft sofas.

If you must wear high heels, it is best to choose medium heels with a heel height of less than 5 cm, and try to wear them as many times as possible. Sitting on a sofa that is too soft will make people's center of gravity unstable, and it is difficult to protect the physiological curvature of the spine, resulting in fatigue, back pain and other symptoms.

It's more typical of cervical spondylosis.

It can be heated, massaged, physiotherapy, external plasters, etc. If there is limb numbness, oral methylcobalamin can be used to nourish the nerves**.

It is common for the cervical spine to make noises that are actually caused by soft tissue calcification. The causes of different sounds are also different, and you can distinguish them according to the symptoms.

What is cervical facet joint disorder? Cervical facet joint disorder refers to the small joints of the cervical spine beyond the normal range of activities of the cervical spine, and the small joints (including unnatural joints and articular surfaces) have small displacements between the joints. Articular surfaces, small displacements, how can you see from the next film.

Later, I heard that playing badminton can cure cervical spondylosis, so I asked a friend to play badminton every day, and after just a few days of playing, my neck became flexible, and after a month, the gurgling sound of the cervical spine could no longer be heard. I was so happy and decided to keep playing badminton. In other words, just like an aging machine, the screws rust and come into contact when they spin.

The same goes for the cervical spine. If the "screws" of the cervical spine are rusty, they will keep ringing, as long as they rotate frequently, they will get better slowly, and if the neck som is accompanied by neck, shoulder, back pain, dizziness, headache, hand numbness and other symptoms, the condition is more serious.

In addition to the intervertebral disc connections between the individual vertebrae, the cervical spine has many small joint connections. Although the joint space is small, these joints are the main stabilizing structures involved in rotation, flexion, extension, and lateral flexion. When we move the cervical spine, the sliding of these articular surfaces ensures that we are able to complete our normal activities.

Generally, there is no noise, such as the upper and lower planes of adjacent vertebral bodies form spinal joints, which are connected by thin ligaments, and the joint capsule is loosened and there is a synovium inside.

So, neck injuries caused by gurgling or neck aging and neck stiffness can manifest themselves. This is because the neck muscles are divided into many layers. As the cervical spine moves, the layers slide against each other.

When we strain our muscles, there is some local inflammatory response. The inflammatory response can make the slide between muscles less smooth. If we face a computer or other fixed posture for a long time, it is easy to make noise when our neck moves.

This should be because there is a problem with your cervical spine, which is relatively weak, so there will be some noise during the shaking process, or because there is a problem with the bones in the cervical spine.

It may be that the joints of the cervical spine are not well aligned and the joint capsule is strained, so that there is a sound when moving, and there is a certain relationship with the usual habits.

The sound of cervical spine twisting is mainly due to the instability between the joints of the cervical spine, so that there is a first-class sound during flexion and extension or rotation, which indicates that the cervical spine is unstable, and the muscles, ligaments, facet joints, and joint capsules around the cervical spine are relaxed.

It is caused by the dislocation of the facet joints of the cervical spine, which is likely to be caused by cervical strain.

Just because your bones are brittle, you have symptoms of osteoporosis.

When you shake your neck, there is a sound in the cervical spine, indicating that the cervical spine is very tired, and you should be alert to the risk of cervical spondylosis. Therefore, it is necessary to move the cervical spine frequently, keep the cervical spine healthy and massage.

It may be because you have a serious calcium deficiency, your body lacks calcium, and osteoporosis is particularly severe, so this is the case.

It may be that the small joints of the cervical spine are misaligned, and the cervical spine is severely strained, so there will be a sound when shaking.
