Is the ＂artifact＂ of cervical vertebra treatment shared by netizens reliable？
What is the most tearful thing these days? Nothing is more than "the head is not bald yet, and the cervical vertebrae are collapsed first." Low-headed people don’t hurry to touch their back necks. Is your cervical vertebra okay? As a "senior" patient with cervical spondylosis, the reporter also groped for a long time on the road to saving cervical vertebrae and tried many methods, but compared with this netizen, the reporter sighed! How hard they have worked to treat cervical spondylosis! Take a quick look at their fancy self-help method.

Netizens share neck brace, traction and massage … … Evaluation of cervical self-help artifact
Artifact 1: Neck Bracket
"I think this kind of thing should have one person." Netizen Elly introduced her new good product to her colleagues: neck support. According to the photo, this neck brace looks like an advanced version of the "neck collar". The professional term is an ergonomic curved neck strap, which can adjust the neck circumference according to the thickness of one’s neck and has the effect of supporting decompression.
Netizen Elly said that when she first wore it, she felt a little uncomfortable and needed to hold it all the time, but she got used to it after two days of adaptation. "It is very light and small, and the fabric is quite comfortable. Wearing it can play a role of reminding, like holding the back of the head with one hand. I feel that this is also conducive to opening the shoulders, and it will not put any pressure on the cervical vertebrae and shoulders for one day."
Artifact 2: Traction Pillow
"Torturing my cervical spondylosis and neck pain, it’s much better to use a traction pillow!" A netizen said that his cervical spine was particularly sore because he often played mobile phones, and there was a "rich bag" that affected his posture. After trying the traction pillow, he felt more relaxed and comfortable.
The reporter found that the traction pillow is different from the advertised sleeping pillow for repairing cervical vertebrae. It is not used for sleeping, but for going to bed. This kind of product claims that it only takes a few minutes every day to lie down gently and bid farewell to cervical discomfort. It uses the gravity of the head to pull the cervical vertebra and guide the cervical vertebra to return to a healthy curvature. The slightly advanced one also has a heating function.
Artifact 3: Cervical Vertebral Instrument
"We are bald for a while, overworked for a while, and we have to soak Lycium barbarum in a thermos cup for a while … …” A netizen laughed at himself. It is nothing new to feel that the post-90s generation is full of problems. Now the neck has become a key protection object. The artifact she recommended is a cervical vertebra instrument, which looks like a big crab pliers and is covered with bumps. This kind of product is not electric massage, but self-weight massage.
"This massager really pinpoints the sore point on the cervical vertebra. Lying on it for ten minutes every day with arm exercise is really sour and refreshing, especially relaxing the trapezius muscle." Netizens share their own experience and recommend it to cervical vertebra patients with shoulder and neck pain.
Artifact 4: Foam Axis
"I want to announce that the foam shaft is an artifact of cervical spondylosis, which really saved my cervical discomfort tonight." A netizen shared her newly discovered artifact to save cervical vertebra — — Foam shaft, "can make you really relax in an instant, feel much more comfortable, at least not painful."
She also shared the use of foam shaft to relieve cervical pain: the whole body lies flat and relaxes, the foam shaft is placed on the pillow, and the head is slightly twisted left and right. You can feel the pain in the acupoints below the back of your head, and you will relax a lot after rolling.
Artifact 5: Cervical traction chair
Do you still remember the "hanging" cervical exercise method created by aunts and uncles? On the big trees in the park, they hang their heads on the trees, swing and shake their bodies rhythmically, and some can even keep their feet off the ground. It is precisely because of the strange style of painting that it once occupied the hot search list. However, what I want to talk about here is of course not this kind of "hanging by hanging", but netizens directly buy "cervical traction chair" and treat it by hanging their necks at home. "The advantage is that it is uncomfortable. I can use it at home at any time. I have used it for more than a dozen times in a row and feel that my shoulders and neck are much easier." Some netizens commented on the use experience.
The reporter searched on the shopping website and found that there are quite a few hospitals with the same model, and the sales volume is also good. Many of them advertised "solving the fundamental problem of cervical vertebrae". The reporter noticed that these traction chair are even more luxurious than those in hospitals, and many of them are more comfortable to sit for a long time with sofa-class seats; Can adjust the lever by itself, which can be long or short; Even the traction belt is widened and thickened, which can be adjusted according to the face shape.
Expert’s opinion, the good habit of "looking up at the sky" may be the best artifact.
So many artifacts to save the cervical vertebra, which one is useful? The reporter found an interesting phenomenon. Whenever a netizen shares his "self-help artifact", there are different opposition voices underneath. For example, although the neck brace recommended by the above netizens is good for their own use, some people use their own failure examples to suggest that those people with poor cervical vertebrae can’t wear it for a long time, which will make the neck muscles lose their self-regulation ability.
Just like a netizen accidentally revealed the "truth" — — "If there are such artifacts, the topic of cervical spondylosis will not exist!"
Tian Jiwei, chief medical officer of Deyu Medical, vice president of Nanjing Jiangbei Hospital and director of the Orthopedic Center, pointed out that cervical spondylosis is a syndrome concept, and most people do not need surgery after suffering from cervical spondylosis. "In clinic, less than 10% of patients really need surgery, which means that 90% of patients can achieve good results through conservative treatment, and even play a preventive role."
For a variety of therapeutic artifacts such as cervical pillows on the market, he also reminded that they may not play a therapeutic role.
How to prevent cervical spondylosis? It is very simple. First of all, we should reduce the inactivity that lasts for a long time. "If an action lasts for three hours, our cervical vertebrae will degenerate and strain, and long-term degeneration and strain will induce the proliferation, bulging and protrusion of intervertebral discs, and finally induce cervical spondylosis." Tian Jiwei said that for the "low-headed people" who use mobile phones and computers for a long time, they should get into the habit of looking up at the sky and rest for 15 minutes after a continuous action for two hours. "This will restore our physiological curvature without further aggravation."
Tian Jiwei believes that in the conservative treatment methods that cervical vertebra patients can try, besides changing posture regularly at work, exercise is also very important. Gentle neck movement and upper limb movement are beneficial to the relaxation of neck and shoulder muscles and improve blood circulation, and mild cervical spondylosis will be improved. "But not all sports are suitable. Swimming and flying kites are the sports that patients with cervical spondylosis can choose. These two exercises are effective for the recovery of cervical physiological curvature, the repair of cervical intervertebral disc and the prevention of the deterioration of cervical spondylosis. "
