The neck is always clicking, what's going on? What to do?

If the cervical spine makes a clicking sound, and it is accompanied by redness, swelling, pain, dizziness, headache, chest tightness, etc., then it may be suffering from cervical spondylosis, but if you just make a sound and there are no other uncomfortable symptoms, then you don't need to be too nervous. We will find that after holding a posture for a long time, twisting the neck will be prone to clicking, because the muscle strength of the neck is unbalanced, the muscles are chronically strained, the synovial fluid is reduced, the joint surface is rough, and the friction between the joints is prone to clicking. So what are the possible reasons for the clicking sound in the neck?

The first reason is that there are small bubbles between the joints of the cervical spine. Between the joints of the human body, there is a liquid that lubricates the joints, that is, synovial fluid, and if there is gas running into the synovial fluid, it will become bubbles. When we turn our neck, the joints rotate with it, and the small bubbles run out of the synovial fluid and make a sound.

The second reason is that there is friction between the tendons, ligaments and joints. If you bow your head for a long time, the muscles in the neck will be in a tense state, and the tendons and ligaments will also be misaligned. When the neck is twisted, the misaligned tendons and ligaments will return to their original position, and they will rub against the joints, making a clicking sound.

The third reason is that the facet articular surface of the cervical spine is worn. If the facet joints of the cervical spine themselves are a little worn, when the neck is turned, the friction area will become larger, which will make a sound.

Twisting the neck often, although it is just a seemingly inadvertent small action, but twisting the neck often will easily wear out the joints, and doing so often will also lead to cervical pain; The cervical spine of the human body has ligaments, often twist the neck, the ligaments of the cervical spine will have chronic strain, after a long time, the muscles of the cervical spine will have soreness, especially in rainy days. Often twist the neck, it is easy to appear a phenomenon is cervical spine dislocation, the consequences of cervical spine dislocation is very terrible, so usually do not twist the neck vigorously. Twisting the neck often can also lead to cervical spine disorders, which can aggravate dizziness, tinnitus, chest tightness and palpitation.

The reason for this phenomenon lies in chronic damage to the cervical spine, wear and tear of cervical joints, and so on.

Be active. Office workers who often face the computer, after using the computer for a while, should stand up and move, and at the same time gently move the neck, rotate 90 degrees to the left and right, to ensure that the ligaments on both sides of the neck can be evenly stretched in a short time, so as to help improve the local blood supply. Keep your neck warm.

Everyone's sweat pores are open, when people stay in the air-conditioned room for a long time, cold and dampness are easy to enter the body, aggravating the calcification of the neck ligaments, so don't let the cervical spine be exposed to cold wind, pay attention to keep warm.

It could be that there is a problem with the cervical spine. Prolonged sitting leads to disjointed and dislocated cervical spine. So there will be an abnormal noise in the neck.

If this happens, then you have a problem with your spine, so it is recommended that you should go to the hospital for timely treatment, and do not go to some irregular beauty salons for massage, the consequences are unimaginable.

There are many reasons for the clicking of the neck, in addition to the common physiological phenomena, it may also be caused by some undesirable factors. The clicking of the neck is accompanied by local pain and discomfort or symptoms of general malaise, and it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible**.

"This situation is so common that it can be said to be a manifestation of early cervical spondylosis or pre-cervical spondylosis. If you take good care and exercise, you will recover completely, and if you continue, it will evolve into cervical spondylosis. Normal joints, there is tissue fluid in it, which can play a lubricating role, so normal people usually can't hear the clicking soundPathological snapping is due to damage or structural variation of soft tissues in the joint, resulting in friction of the soft tissues during exercise, resulting in a snapping sound.

This pathological snapping is often accompanied by significant pain and a symptom of limited movement.

<> if it is just a simple physiological sound, there is no other discomfort or pain, etc., then the clicking sound may be ** in the cervical joint activity of the snap, or it may be with the developed muscles and ligaments behind the neck to rub the pop, cervical facet joint surface wear: the cartilage tissue between the joints is easy to be destroyed, the cervical facet joints themselves have mild joint wear, twisting the neck will cause joint friction, resulting in sound. Cervical spine soft tissues or ligaments rubbing against each other:

When you feel that your neck and shoulders are sore, your neck muscles or soft tissues are likely to be strained, and the sliding between soft tissues is no longer so smooth, so when the neck moves, it will also make a popping sound because of friction against each other.

If there is a feeling of soreness when turning, it is basically spondylosis, and you usually need to pay attention to your sitting posture, the correct sitting posture is that the head and ischial bones are in a line, the shoulders are pressed back, the spine is straight, Jane persists, you can reduce the harm of sitting for a long time, reduce the head in your usual study or work, and avoid overload on the cervical spine; The height of the pillow should be appropriate when sleeping, and the position of the cushion must be on the neck, not the back of the head, to maintain the normal curvature of the cervical spine; If you want to protect your cervical spine and prevent the occurrence of cervical spondylosis, the first measure is to keep your neck warm, and you should also pay attention not to stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time in summer to avoid cold on your neck.

Clause. 1. Physiological phenomena. Between the joints there is a lubricating fluid, known as synovial fluid.

When gas enters the synovial fluid, small bubbles will be generated, and in the process of rotating the neck, the joints in the cervical spine will also rotate, so that some small bubbles will be squeezed out, so there will be a clicking sound. Clause.

2. Joint friction. When working or studying for a long time, the neck will remain in a state of bowing head for a long time, which will cause the muscles in the neck to be in a state of tension and fatigue, so the tendons and ligaments in the neck will also be slightly misaligned. In this case, when the neck is twisted, the misaligned tendons and ligaments will return to their original positions as quickly as possible, and in the process, they will make an abnormal noise because of the friction with the joints.

It is very likely that it is because of cervical spondylosis, and it is possible that the body has maintained one posture for a long time, so there is a joint disease.

It is because I sit for a long time and my neck does not move, so I have cervical spondylosis, so it will click.

Because we keep one movement for a long time, if we don't move, our neck will click. At this time, we must move our heads more. This is also helpful for the neck.

This may be a degenerative lesion of the cervical spine, or there is a phenomenon of cervical spine displacement and dislocation, which requires a cervical CT examination to judge the condition and be better.

Write the word "rice" with your head every day, and it will have an effect if you insist on doing it.

The first thing is to keep the head in a fixed position for a long time, move the head more, and do more fitness, mainly exercising the head and back muscles.

It is recommended that the hospital check the thyroid function to see if there is a thyroid problem.

First of all, it doesn't matter if the neck makes a sound but is not accompanied by headache, dizziness and nausea, etc., but the lack of exercise is because there is less lubricating fluid between the joints, which increases the loss of joint friction, and the other is the embodiment of calcium deficiency, and the joints will become stiff and lack toughness.

If you have a slight headache and dizziness, it is recommended that you consult a doctor, cervical spondylosis is not curable, you can only pay more attention to life, sit upright, and correct bad habits, such as watching TV, it is best not to lean on the sofa, or half-lie and half-lie on the head of the bed; Don't play mahjong for too long, and change your body posture frequently. Choose pillows with good breathability and heat preservation, pay attention to the heat preservation of the neck straight, prohibit smoking, I know you don't smoke, and do a moderate amount of gentle neck exercises every day.

Big head, I'll answer okay, give me extra points Haha, your head will definitely not fall off if you add points.

If there is a problem with the cervical spine, the pain in severe cases may be cervical hyperplasia, which can be repeated by raising the head and lowering the head**, and skipping rope is also a good choice.

It may be cervical spondylosis. It is usually due to poor posture, or prolonged bowing of the head. Pillows that are too high can cause degenerative changes in the cervical spine and cause local pain.

If you are uncomfortable with activity, it is recommended to pay attention to avoid lowering your head for a long time, and you can do cervical spine exercises, with acupuncture and massage techniques**, to improve cervical spine discomfort.

Simple cervical spondylosis, which is a symptom of the early stage of cervical spondylosis. The pathological manifestations are strain of neck muscles and shoulder muscles, changes in ligament laxity, changes in physiological curvature of the cervical spine, and abnormal position of vertebral joints. Try a two-session massage to relax the muscles in the neck and shoulders and improve muscle tone.

Usually pay attention to the posture of the neck: such as do not bow your head, do not sit in a posture for a long time (such as sitting in front of the computer for a long time), usually move the neck and shoulders appropriately, such as playing badminton and flying kites. Keep your neck warm.

4. The head is lowered to the lower right, followed by the upper left.

It's like the way the rice character is written.

Many people will have such a situation, when staring at Qin and turning their heads, they will feel the neck make a "click" sound, this kind of popping sound is mainly two**: one is the joint from the cervical spine, the joint will make a snap sound in the flexion and extension and rotation activities of the cervical spine, and it may also be that there is a grinding bubble in the joint or the joint is abnormal and misaligned. If it's just a sound and no symptoms, don't worry too much.
