Many young people go to the hospital to "hang their necks"? Take a quick test to see if you have cervical spine problems →

"20 years old, but the cervical vertebrae of 60 years old"... Nowadays, more and more young people are suffering from cervical spondylosis.

Recently, a scene captured by netizens in a hospital in Shanghai attracted attention and was forwarded a lot.

In the photo, many young people are sitting in a row and "hanging their necks", with a magical red light flashing next to them... The picture makes people feel funny and sad.

In the comment section, some netizens said: "I've also done cervical vertebrae physical therapy!" "My colleague is hanging every day at work."

Some people also found that among the people who were "hanging themselves", some were actually playing with their mobile phones.

Due to people's long-term use of computers and mobile phones, the incidence of cervical spondylosis has gradually increased in recent years.

Common symptoms of cervical spondylosis include neck, shoulder and back pain, headache, dizziness, palpitations, chest tightness, nausea and vomiting, arm pain, numbness, weakness, etc., and cervical traction is one of the most important treatments.

It is understood that traction therapy can help relieve neck muscle spasms, loosen soft tissue adhesions, improve or restore the normal physiological curvature of the cervical spine, and thus relieve neck pain and discomfort.

Doctor's reminder:

Not everyone is suitable for "hanging neck"

Doctors in the rehabilitation medicine department said that cervical spondylosis is a chronic disease. Many patients will experience a certain degree of improvement in their symptoms after a single physical therapy, but if they want to achieve long-term results, several courses of treatment are needed.

Moreover, the doctor will first evaluate the patient and recommend traction treatment only after confirming that the patient is suitable. Not everyone is suitable for "hanging the neck".

It is understood that the occurrence of cervical spondylosis is closely related to the patient's occupation , such as accountants, office workers, typists, copyists, etc., the incidence rate is significantly higher than other groups. The incidence rate of people who use laptops for a long time and play with mobile phones with their heads down is also higher than other groups.
