summary

Most of the stiff neck and sleep posture, often caused by fire, and winter and spring season. Then some patients asked what happened to the total stiff neck?, Today I'd like to share this with you.

What's the matter with the total pillow?

First, the so-called "stiff neck" is waking up, neck pain and limited activity. Light get up to do appropriate neck activities, symptoms will disappear, severe neck pain more and more serious, dizziness, headache, neck and shoulder pain, arm numbness, and even cause palpitations, chest tightness and other symptoms“ "Stiff neck" is often the inducement of cervical spondylosis and one of the causes of cervical soft tissue strain.

Second: more patients with stiff pillows are due to poor sleep posture, too high or too low pillows, and improper soft and hard pillows. When the cervical spine is in the fixed position of excessive deflection, flexion or extension for a long time, the muscles on one side of the neck will be in the state of excessive extension, resulting in spasm. If the back of the neck is attacked by wind and cold at this time, it is more likely to cause blood stagnation in the back of the neck, obstruction of meridians and collaterals, so that the local muscles and tendons are not strong and the activity is not good. In modern medicine, this kind of neck spasm, ankylosis, pain caused by head and neck rotation failure, activity disorder as the main symptoms of the disease, known as trapezius syndrome or neck shoulder back acute fibrous histitis.

Third: "stiff neck" is a signal of cervical spondylosis. If it is corrected at this time, it still has the opportunity to prevent the onset in time. If it is not corrected, the occurrence frequency of "stiff neck" will gradually increase“ The "stiff neck" indicates that the ligaments around the cervical spine have relaxed and lost the function of maintaining the stability of the cervical joint, which is called "cervical instability", and the "dislocation" of the vertebral joint is possible. After the instability and dislocation of the vertebral joint, the intervertebral disc can be involved, and the decompensated bone hyperplasia will accelerate, and eventually develop into cervical spondylosis. This is one of the main reasons for cervical spondylosis in young adults (20-45 years old).

matters needing attention

"Stiff neck" is usually acute, but it is easy to recover because of simple muscle spasm. Mild cases can recover in 3-5 days; Severe cases may continue for several weeks, some repeated attacks, and even develop into cervical spondylosis. Therefore, if the middle-aged and old people often fall into the pillow repeatedly, it is often the precursor symptom of cervical spondylosis, so they should see a doctor in time. In order to avoid repeated attacks, timely measures should be taken to adjust the pillow and sleeping posture. At the same time, avoid sudden sprain.
