The neck turns will make a crisp sound, is it cervical spondylosis?

The sound of neck rotation is medically called cervical spine snapping, which is mainly divided into physiological snapping and pathological snapping.

 

In daily life, many people will encounter this situation: when turning their neck, they will hear a "click" or "cluck" sound, sometimes accompanied by a slight soreness. Some people don't care about this, while others start to worry. One can't help but wonder - is the sound of the neck a sign of cervical spondylosis?

1.Physiological snapping: This kind of snapping is usually harmless, the neck will not have pain, limited movement, it has a variety of reasons, on the one hand, when we turn the neck, the space between the joints changes, and the bubbles between the joints burst in the process of turning, resulting in a ringing sound, which is similar to the sound of our finger joints. On the other hand, long-term poor sitting posture, lack of exercise, or tension in the neck muscles can also lead to increased friction in the cervical spine, resulting in sound when turning.

2. Pathological snapping: usually accompanied by pain, dizziness, arm numbness and other symptoms, which in severe cases will affect the normal movement of the neck. It is common in cervical spondylosis, cervical ligament calcification and other diseases.

Why do bones make a crisp sound?

Although the sound of the neck turning is not directly equivalent to cervical spondylosis, there is indeed a certain connection between the two. Mild is long-term muscle fatigue, spasm, adhesion, ligament tendon calcification, tendon ligament loss of due toughness. Everyone should pay attention to a phenomenon, children, the body is soft, and there will definitely be no neck ringing problem. When we reach a certain age, as soon as we move our bodies, there will be joint noises, including shoulder joints and knee joints. In fact, it is that the supply of qi and blood in our body is not up, causing our body to become stiff and the joints to dry out in a state of ischemia. Between the bones of our spine, there will be intervertebral discs. The main function of the intervertebral disc is to cushion. For example, when we jump up and play and fall, the ground will have a reaction force on the human body, and if there is no disc, it will become a collision between the bones, head-to-head. In addition, when our body is bent, the role of the intervertebral disc is also to protect the relationship between our bones from damage during movement. Now that we understand this truth, it is not difficult for us to understand why when our neck turns, the bones inside rattle.

How to fix neck turning to make noise?

Whether it is to prevent abnormal neck snapping or to stay away from cervical spondylosis, you need to pay attention to cervical spine maintenance in daily life. 1.First, do more activities. Especially friends who are accompanied by a computer every day, when using the computer for a while, they have to get up and move their necks at the same time, but do not do 360-degree circular movements, only do 90-degree left turns and 90-degree right turns to ensure that the ligaments on both sides of our necks can be evenly stretched. You can choose a sport you like, such as jogging, swimming, playing ball, yoga, tai chi, etc. People with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should warm up before exercise to let the joints move and reduce the load on the heart.

2.Second, stay away from air conditioning. Especially don't let the air conditioner blow directly. Because in summer, people's sweat pores are open, and when the air conditioner blows, cold and dampness can easily enter the body, which will aggravate the calcification of our ligaments.

3.Third, put an end to coke. Reduce your intake of all carbonated drinks, including cola, because this process of boiling frogs in warm water is gradual, so it is difficult to be valued.

4.Fourth, stay away from cold evil. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "blood is warm and coagulated", cold evil will cause blood stasis, meridians are not smooth, qi and blood biochemistry are blocked, and it is easy to lead to joint lesions, gastrointestinal discomfort or induce cough. When going out in winter, be sure to wear hats, gloves, scarves, etc., avoid eating cold, soaking your feet in warm water, and doing massages frequently at home. The elderly often lack qi and blood, so they should pay more attention. If you have neck pain or back pain, use a towel to relieve the pain. In addition, physical therapy methods such as warm physiotherapy and moxibustion are also ideal ways to maintain the spine.
