Cervical spondylosis, also known as cervical syndrome, is a general term for cervical osteoarthritis, proliferative cervical spondylosis, cervical nerve root syndrome, and cervical disc herniation. It is a disease based on degenerative pathological changes.
For patients with cervical spondylosis, it is better to use the following methods for pillows and pillows:
1. When patients use pillows, they should first choose some wide pillows and keep the edges of the pillows close to their bilateral shoulders and backs. Only in this way can the patient's head and neck be supported by the pillow simultaneously. This is beneficial for relaxing the neck muscles and maintaining the physiological curvature of the cervical spine.
2. When patients use pillows, they should try to adopt a supine position, that is, sleeping face up, and avoid choosing to lie on their side as much as possible.
3. When adjusting the pillow, patients need to maintain the appropriate height and provide sufficient support. The patient requests that the height of the pillow still be as high as the patient's fist after the pillow is placed on it.
4. When patients use pillows, they should never choose overly soft pillows to prevent a feeling of head suspension. If the patient's pillow is too soft, a hard book can be placed under the pillow.
Patients with cervical spondylosis should not only sleep, but also pay attention to:
1. Cervical spondylosis is often related to posture, so it is important to prevent prolonged movements. Do not work with your head down at the desk or operate the computer for a long time. It is recommended to rest the cervical spine for less than half an hour and do a few movements to relieve the stress and muscle tension on the cervical spine.
2. Pay attention to keeping your cervical spine warm to prevent getting cold. Cold can induce edema of nerve roots and inflammation of muscles.
3. To prevent excessive shaking of the head, it can cause displacement of the cervical spine and easily lead to the occurrence of cervical spondylosis.
