The spine is the "backbone" of the human body and bears most of the weight of the human body. It can be divided into four sections: cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral, which are often referred to as cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine. Once there is a problem with the spine, symptoms such as back pain, neck and shoulder numbness, dizziness and tinnitus will follow.
What behaviors can harm the health of the spine, A lot of people are doing it!
1.What should a healthy spine look like?
The normal spine of the human body is composed of 33 vertebrae, and when viewed from the side, the human spine is in the shape of "S", outlining the beauty of the body with chest and buttocks; From the back, the spine should be straight and straight, impartial, and have the feeling of standing like a loose one.
Who is prone to spinal problems?
(1)People aged 20-40 years old. It accounts for more than 75% of the total number of cases. Most of them are caused by high activity intensity and lack of good living habits;
(2)Male. Men engage in more heavy physical activities than women, and the load on the lumbar spine is also longer higher than that of women. (3) People who have been working at desks for a long time. This is caused by the body maintaining a posture for a long time, and the lumbar spine is overburdened;
(3)Driver. In addition to maintaining a sitting position for a long time, the driver is in a bumpy state for a long time, and the pressure on the lumbar disc is relatively large;
(4) People who have suffered trauma or lumbar muscle strain. Damage to the lumbar muscles will weaken their ability to protect the lumbar spine, making the lumbar spine more susceptible to disease.
(5) People who bear heavy weight for a long time. For example, weightlifters, heavy physical workers, etc.
3.What behaviors hurt the spine?
(1)When sitting in a fixed position, the spine bears 150% of the pressure, and when sitting forward (such as using a computer), the spine bears 250% of the pressure. Whether it is the cervical spine, or the thoracic spine, or the lumbar spine, often maintaining one posture to work or study, is the most likely to cause problems.
(2)Not sleeping properly Many people like to sleep on their stomachs, twist their necks to breathe when sleeping on their stomachs, resulting in excessive torsion and misalignment of cervical joints, and if not corrected, they will develop into cervical spondylosis. An inappropriate pillow can also lead to cervical spondylosis: some people like to use high pillows, others do not use pillows, these are bad habits. Long-term use of unsuitable pillows, with age, chronic neck strain changes from quantitative to qualitative, which is prone to stiff neck, and stiff neck is a sign of cervical spondylosis.
(3) When suddenly carrying heavy weights on the back, lifting, moving, pushing, lifting heavy objects and other activities, the lumbar spine bears more external force, especially the lower part of the lumbar spine is more forced, and in addition to the weight of the object being moved, it is also related to the size of the object, the way of lifting the object and the curvature of the lumbar spine.
