What should I do when I turn my neck and there is a click sound?

Oil massage, moxibustion treatment. If there is a clicking sound when you turn your neck, it means that the meridians are blocked, so you should use essential oil massage to dredge the meridians and then cooperate with moxibustion to run smoothly.

As long as it is not accompanied by uncomfortable symptoms such as headache or dizziness, there is generally no major problem. Consider that it may be due to a long-term lack of exercise, or a lack of calcium caused by the lubricating fluid produced by the joints, which is less combined with the loss of friction in the joints, resulting in the phenomenon of popping sounds. When there is a neck sound, you can use traction to alleviate it, sit on the chair, hold the back of the neck with both hands, cross the index fingers of both hands, use two little fingers against the upper part of the neck, and then tilt the head back hard, continue to stretch for about ten seconds, you can relieve the neck discomfort.

It means that you are overworked and your bones are not very flexible, you can go for a massage, and you can relax and take a bath.

I believe that the average office worker, after sitting in front of the computer for a day, usually feels that the neck is sore, the shoulders are very tight, and often twist the neck at will, they will hear the clicking sound from the neck, and subconsciously people will start to worry, is their neck out of the problem?

In fact, there is no need to worry too much about the problem of clicking when turning the neck, generally speaking, the sound made when twisting the neck is the so-called cervical snap, which is usually caused by 4 reasons.

, there are small bubbles in the cervical joints:

There is a fluid between the joints of the human body that is used to lubricate the joints, which is made as synovial fluid, and if air escapes into the synovial fluid, bubbles will be formed. When we twist our neck, the small bubbles in the cervical joints come out of the synovial fluid and make a noise.

, tendon ligament and joint friction:

When we twist the neck, the misaligned tendons and ligaments will rub against the joints when they quickly return to their original positions, and there will also be a clicking sound.

, cervical joint wear:

If you have mild wear and tear on your cervical joints, it will cause friction when you twist your neck, which will naturally produce a ringing sound.

, cervical spine soft tissues or ligaments rubbing against each other:

When you feel that your neck and shoulders are sore, there is a high chance that the neck muscles or soft tissues are overtired, and the sliding between the soft tissues is no longer so smooth, so when you turn your neck, it will also make a sound because of the friction against each other.

However, although twisting your neck to make a noise does not mean that your neck is wrong, experts do not recommend that office workers exercise frequently and forcefully after sitting on the computer, because this will not only not relax the neck, but will wear down the nerves and cervical spine, and is even described as a self-injurious behavior, because excessive rotation will cause bone and joint friction and bone spurs.

Rehabilitation therapists suggest that if office workers want to relax their neck, they can do chin tucking movements, relax the muscles behind them, and never do neck tilting back or leaning back to the side, otherwise the nerves in the cervical spine will be more susceptible to compression.

In addition, it is also necessary to remind people with three highs (high blood sugar, high blood pressure, high blood lipids) not to twist their necks arbitrarily, because the neck runs through the nerves of the brain, and people with three highs are prone to atherosclerosis or calcification, if it happens to occur in the neck artery, because the blood vessels are narrowed and affect the blood supply to the brain, once the neck is twisted violently, the blood vessels will be narrowed, aggravating the lack of blood supply to the brain, dizziness, headache and other symptoms, and even arterial plaque will fall off, causing cerebral embolism.

In addition, the spinal cord in the cervical spine of a person with cervical spondylosis is compressed, and if the neck is twisted excessively, or the neck is twisted by **, it is likely to lead to aggravated spinal cord compression, weakness of the limbs or unsteady walking, and in more serious cases, paralysis. Therefore, if it is the two types of people mentioned above, do not twist your neck arbitrarily, and it is not recommended to carry out massage and **
