What are the hazards of bowing your head to the cervical spine, and what is the harm of long term bo

1. Cause cervical strain.

When we look down to play with the mobile phone, our neck is low, so the body will not bend naturally, and our neck will lean forward more and more, which will stretch our neck, and our neck will be in a state of congestion for a long time, so it may cause our cervical strain.

2. Accelerate cervical degeneration.

Frequent bowing of the head will also pull our neck muscles, will make our neck ligaments and their neck flesh will become very tense, it is likely to compress the circulation of blood, so it is easy to cause cervical spine degeneration, which leads to cervical spondylosis, so in ordinary life, we should often raise our heads, and also let our heads, can reduce a certain amount of pressure.

3. Cervical vertebrae reverse arch.

Cervical spine arch is a common cause of cervical spondylosis, a long time to bow down and play with the mobile phone will put a lot of pressure on your cervical spine, it is very likely that there will be a phenomenon of cervical arch back, so in ordinary life, we should dare to correct the bad habit of bowing our heads to play with mobile phones, and after playing for a period of time, we must relieve the pressure on our neck in time.

Although electronic products are a very fun thing, there will be a lot of harm to the low-headed people, which will cause some damage to their cervical spine, and may also cause some damage to their lives, affecting their families and their own lives.

Often hunched over and playing with mobile phones with your head down can easily cause spinal injuries. Because of the gravitational pull of the earth, when the head is bent forward 60 degrees, the pressure on the cervical spine weighs about 45 pounds, which is equivalent to the weight of a 7-year-old child.

The cervical spine has 7 segments, with large mobility and complex movements. On X-rays, the normal cervical spine is convex forward from the side, and the vertebral body line resembles a curved arch, which is called the physiological curvature of the cervical spine. When we hold our heads high, the gravity of the skull acts on the side of the bowstring, like a bow with the string drawn, which helps to maintain the normal curvature of the cervical spine; When the head is lowered for a long time, the center of gravity of the head moves forward, gravity is close to the apex of the bow bend and presses downward, and the muscle force behind the cervical spine is opposed, which will straighten the physiological curvature of the cervical spine, destroy the biomechanical balance of the cervical spine, and cause cervical spine lesions and corresponding uncomfortable symptoms.

What are the symptoms of cervical spine problems? The first is neck, shoulder and back pain, because the muscles in the cervical spine tissue are more likely to be injured, especially the flexion action of the cervical spine, when the head is lowered, the cervical spine weight-bearing changes, and the muscles will produce excessive contraction and passive elongation, which is very easy to damage the neck muscles and cervical facet joint capsule and cause pain. Secondly, cervical disc damage and herniation can compress the spinal nerves, which can cause discomfort such as radiating pain in the upper limbs, numbness in the hands, weakness, and unsteady walking gait.

Aggravation of cervical spine lesions, dislocation of intervertebral facet joints, and weakening of the muscles behind the cervical spine can lead to cervical instability, and can also cause headrestal pain, dizziness, memory loss, etc.
