What exercises can treat cervical spondylosis? Is breaststroke OK

Swimming is a whole-body exercise in which the muscles of the upper limbs, neck, shoulders, back, abdomen and lower limbs are "whole" involved, which can effectively promote blood circulation in the muscles of the whole body.

Swimming, especially breaststroke, should bow the head and row when exhaling, and the head and neck should be raised from the back parallel to the water when inhaling, so that the head and neck are always in a state of low and one up, which is just in line with the requirements of cervical spondylosis functional exercise, can fully move the joints of the cervical spine, and effectively promote the repair of strained muscles and ligaments around the neck.

So you're making the right breaststroke, but is it a little less once a week? If personal time allows, it is recommended that you can do it about 3 times a week, and it will definitely have obvious results in the long run.

Cervical spondylosis is not difficult**.

Repeated traction and improper massage can backfire and aggravate the condition.

Cervical spondylosis drugs do not have particularly good efficacy. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs are generally used. Treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

You can use the reflection zone ****, and the effect is good. It is best for symptoms such as headache, dizziness, and numbness of hands caused by cervical spondylosis.

In addition, the design and production of reasonable pillows have a certain auxiliary role in the prevention and development of cervical spondylosis. The traditional pillow is high in the middle and low on all sides, and the pillow just straightens the cervical spine and destroys the physiological curve of the cervical spine. It can cause cervical hyperplasia or worsen hyperplasia.

Make your own round pillow with a diameter of about 8 cm and fill it with cereals to feel slightly firm. It is better to have a diameter that is basically equal to the distance from your neck to your shoulders. Sleep with it around your neck, not the traditional pillow at the back of your head.

This method has a good effect on correcting the straightening of physiological curves, and usually turning the head with a high gaze helps to alleviate the symptoms.

I don't know if it's okay to breaststroke, I've seen it on TV before, and I write "phoenix" with my head. The amplitude could be slightly larger. I don't know if it's true. Hehe.

Long distance swimming will do.

1. When swimming, the muscles of the upper limbs, neck, shoulders and back, abdomen and lower limbs will participate in the exercise, which can promote the blood circulation of the muscles of the whole body, and the water will produce friction and pressure on the human body, and the muscles of various parts of the human body can play a massage role, which can also promote the blood circulation of the muscles and enhance cell metabolism. When the upper limbs are paddling, the shoulder joints and back muscles can be moved, and the cervical joints can be moved when the head is raised and inhaled, which promotes the repair of strained muscles and ligaments, so swimming can not only effectively prevent and treat cervical spondylosis, but also benefit the whole body locomotor system.

2. People with severe cervical spine strain are recommended to use the posture of backstroke, when people are backstroke, the body lies supine on the water, the cervical spine, lumbar spine and other parts can receive the water buoyancy back, and the cervical facet joints have been exercised, which is conducive to relieving neck tension. However, it should be noted that the backstroke has high requirements for shoulder movements and leg strokes, so the backstroke may bring sports injuries such as swimming shoulders and swimming ankles for a long time.

3. Swimming is suitable for patients with early cervical spondylosis, or patients with cervical spondylosis in the recovery period, stiff neck, and patients with cervical facet joint dysfunction; Patients with severe cervical spondylosis should swim under the guidance of a doctor, and people with severe heart disease, lung disease, and brain disease cannot rely on swimming to prevent cervical spondylosis.

4 Generally speaking, patients with cervical spondylosis should follow the doctor's instructions to swim appropriately, generally 3 to 4 times a week, 30 to 60 minutes each time, and insist on swimming continuously for 3 months as an exercise cycle.

Breaststroke is an exercise that engages the muscles and joints of the whole body, which is beneficial for blood circulation, lung capacity and body shaping**. When people exhale in the breaststroke, the neck is relaxed, the body is paddled in the water, the head and neck surface with the help of the strength of the arms and legs when inhaling and leaning back as much as possible, the action of inhaling with the head tilted and exhaling with the head lowered can exercise and repair the neck muscles and ligaments, and the action of stroke and water pressure of the upper limbs can exercise the muscles, shoulders and back muscles, and can also move the joints of the cervical spine. In addition, when a person is in the water, the fluctuation of the water itself will have a direct massage effect on the cervical spine, and the buoyancy effect of the water will also reduce the risk of cervical disc and joint injuries and muscle strains.

This exercise is in line with the exercise principle of the cervical spine, so it is especially suitable for patients with cervical spondylosis and high-risk groups who are prone to cervical spondylosis.

However, it is worth noting that although swimming has a good effect on cervical spondylosis, it is not suitable for all people, and patients with severe cervical spondylosis need to obtain the consent of a doctor before doing it, and patients with high blood pressure, heart disease and brain diseases should not choose breaststroke to get rid of cervical spondylosis. The main thing is that the effect of any exercise cannot be seen overnight, and we need to persevere! Read more: Consult Comfort Care!
