Understand a cold joke

Neck and shoulder pain is a common symptom of people now, which is related to our usual living habits and work. Sometimes only mild pain can be tolerated, but sometimes it will be very painful and will affect our lives. This requires us to pay more attention to the protection and maintenance of the neck and shoulders. So what causes neck and shoulder pain?

In life and work, there are quite a few people who use mobile phones and computers, which makes it easy for us to keep a posture for a long time. Because keeping a posture at the desk for a long time can easily lead to muscle stiffness and tension. At the same time, in summer, the cold air of the air conditioner stimulates the shoulders to catch cold easily, causing pain.

This requires us to change our bad sitting posture and avoid bowing our heads for a long time. Office workers who need to sit for a long time can relax through appropriate exercise, such as relaxing for ten minutes after working for one hour, standing up for stretching exercise and twisting their necks, which can promote the blood circulation of our local muscles and relieve the tension of our neck and shoulders.

The cervical vertebra is the smallest vertebra in our whole spine, but its activity frequency is the highest, and it is also the easiest to cause strain, deformation and trauma, which leads to the compression and stimulation of the vertebral artery. Moreover, because the vertebral artery wall is rich in sympathetic postganglionic fibers, the compression of the vertebral artery also stimulates the cervical sympathetic nerve, resulting in some gastrointestinal symptoms, cardiovascular symptoms and even some sympathetic nerve symptoms.

The cause of neck and shoulder pain is mainly due to the long-term bending of the neck, which leads to chronic strain of neck muscles and ligaments, which will be manifested as neck and shoulder pain. At first, the pain is mild. If you don't adjust it in time and exercise a little, the pain will gradually increase in the later stage, and coughing and sneezing will aggravate the pain. Therefore, when our neck is bent for a long time, we must pay attention to adjustment, rest and relaxation. Do some neck exercises to adjust.

It is also important to develop a good sleeping position when sleeping. Sleeping position is beneficial to the relaxation of neck and shoulder muscles. Pillows should not be too low or too high. The lower edge of the pillow should be placed on the upper edge of the scapula, and the neck should not be vacated. Keep warm when sleeping, don't catch cold and protect your neck.

If you accidentally get a stiff neck or your neck really hurts badly, there is an example in Chinese medicine that a rolling pin can cure neck, shoulder and back pain. Many people don't believe that the rolling pin is so powerful. Rolling pin therapy has existed since ancient times, and it has been proved that meridians and qi are interlinked. Rolling pin can relax tendons and promote blood circulation, so that blocked blood can circulate. The correct operation method can be learned from the old Chinese medicine doctor, which is easy to learn and can be done at home.
