Cervical spondylosis is a relatively common disease in life. Sedentary white-collar workers, drivers, etc. are susceptible to this disease. Due to long-term immobility, the cervical spine is deformed and compresses the nerves, causing headaches and dizziness in addition to pain. So why does cervical spondylosis cause severe dizziness? What are the main causes of dizziness caused by cervical spondylosis?
There are currently three main factors that can cause dizziness:
1. The reason why you will be dizzy when you have cervical spondylosis is actually because of the relationship between the cervical arteries, which directly supply oxygen to the brain, that is to say, the brain must need the large arteries of the cervical spine to ensure sufficient oxygen, and provide it with sufficient blood support to make the brain function normally.
2. There are a lot of acupuncture points in the cervical spine, and these acupuncture points are also in charge of the major central systems of the whole body, if there is a bone displacement in the cervical spine at this time, it is easy to have unbearable pain in the cervical spine, or dizziness and even numbness, which is also caused by the displacement of the cervical spine, so we must pay attention to the maintenance and health care of the cervical spine.
3. There are dense blood vessels and nerves distributed in the cervical spine, and these blood vessels and nerves are also directly related to the normal operation of various cells in the body, especially the normal operation of the head, and if there are cysts or bone spurs in the cervical spine and a slight displacement of the cervical spine, it will make the normal operation of blood vessels and nerves. To affect so there will be dizziness.
Prevention of cervical spondylosis should avoid the following:
1. Don't massage at will.
It is said that massage can be effective in ** cervical spondylosis and relieve muscle soreness. But it is also necessary to find a regular massage clinic and a skilled masseuse, and don't just find someone to massage, which will not only not alleviate the condition, but will increase the condition and induce dizziness. However, when you are tired from work, you can knead your neck and shoulders with appropriate strength.
2. Correct sleeping position.
People spend one-third of their time sleeping every day, so a good sleeping posture is also helpful for cervical spine health, the height of the pillow when sleeping is generally about 10 to 12 cm, it is best to lie flat on the bed, if you want to lie on the side, it is best to choose the right side of the bed.
3. Avoid trauma.
There are always some accidents in life, and the cervical spine should still be protected to reduce the probability of neck sprains and strains. And usually do not twist the neck too hard, which will make the cervical spine uncomfortable, which can easily cause cervical spondylosis and dizziness.
4. Apply a hot towel.
For cervical spine pain, you can use a hot towel to apply to the cervical spine, and a warm towel can relieve cervical spine pain and promote blood circulation. Applying a warm compress for five minutes a day is a way to protect the cervical spine.
