Why does my neck rattle when I turn it?
Nowadays, many friends' necks are very hard and cold to the touch, and they will rattle when they turn, and many people are puzzled. If you search the internet, you won't find a valuable answer at all, and few people will understand it except for the propaganda of the advertisement.
I'll tell you, why does the neck ring? How to solve the problem of ringing neck. When you understand the truth, you know how to solve it.
Why does the neck ring
Everyone should pay attention to a phenomenon, children, the body is soft, and there will never be a problem of neck ringing. When we are a little older, as soon as we move our bodies, there will be joint ringing, including shoulder joints and knee joints, at this time, we will say, alas, we are old, we are all old arms and legs. What are old arms and legs? In fact, it is the lack of supply of qi and blood in our body, which causes our body to harden and our joints to dry grind in a state of ischemia.
The picture above is a schematic diagram of our spinal lesions. There will be interspinal discs between the bones of our spine and between the bones. So what exactly do intervertebral discs do? The intervertebral disc is 80% water, and the younger the person, the higher the water content in it.
When people are old, the water is lost, and the intervertebral disc shrinks, so when people are old, the body will twitch, which is the reason. In fact, the water referred to here is blood.
Personally, I understand that the main function of the intervertebral disc is cushioning. For example, when we jump up and play the ball and fall, the ground will have a reaction force on the human body, if there is no intervertebral disc, it will become a collision between bones, hard collision, that is just now. How can people take it?
In addition, when our body is bent, the function of the intervertebral disc is also to protect our bones from damage during movement.
Now that we understand this, it's not hard to understand why the bones in our necks rattle when we turn. Speaking of which, it may not be easy to understand, so I'll give you an example.
A lot of people must have ridden a bike. How would it feel if we ran out of oil in our axles? It must be hard to ride, and it must feel that the balls inside are not flexible to rotate, and this kind of sound is a bit similar to the sound of our necks, except that the bicycle shaft rotates by oil, and the rotation between our bones depends on blood.
When we lose both blood and qi, the intervertebral discs between our bones and joints do not have sufficient supply of qi and blood, which will form a dry grinding situation, and the sound will become natural.
Why bones and joints are diseased
Some friends may still not understand, why bones and joints, especially cervical and lumbar spine are more prone to lesions? In fact, there are many reasons for this, but there are three main ones:
1. It is a physiological structure
We pay attention to a phenomenon, that is, our cervical and lumbar spine are particularly prone to problems, but the thoracic spine is much better. This is because our thoracic spine is protected by rib stretching, creating an interplay of forces to ensure that our thoracic spine is able to remain centered.
However, our cervical and lumbar spine, which are not held in place by rib pull, rely on multiple sets of ligaments and small muscle groups. If there is a problem with these tissues, it will lead to problems with our cervical and lumbar spine.
2. It is a working posture
When the muscles are under tension, lactic acid will accumulate over time, and the muscles will feel sore. Under normal circumstances, if the arms and legs are sore, we can quickly relieve this lactic acid build-up by moving a little.
However, with a computer, it is different, because we are in a weak state of tension for a long time, it is like boiling a frog in warm water, and by the time we find out, it is already too late.
The consequence of it is that the ligaments around our cervical and lumbar spine will slowly form calcification due to insufficient supply of qi and blood, and the traction force on both sides will begin to be uneven, and over time, the intervertebral disc will herniate, squeezing the surrounding tissues and nerves, and our cervical and lumbar spondylosis will be formed.
3. It is the working environment
If we add that the cold and humidity of our working environment are more serious, for example, we work in the basement, for example, we work under the air conditioner, it will cause the cold and dampness in the environment to enter the body, especially for those muscles and ligaments that are not smooth enough to flow qi and blood, forming a potential impact and aggravating the condition of our lesions.
4. Excessive consumption of carbonated drinks
This is a question that we have said many times. Carbonated drinks will cause decalcification in the body, and over time, our bones will become very loose, at that time, it is not simply a problem of bone ringing, but also easy to lead to fractures. This situation is very common in the elderly society of the West.
Therefore, the causes of the onset of the cervical and lumbar spine are the physiological structure, our work habits, our working environment, and the dietary reasons, in short, these are the embodiment of modern lifestyle diseases.
How to solve the problem of a turn
In fact, the neck ringing is fine, but if your knee joint rings again, it will be a big trouble. You put your hands on your knees, then lift your feet off the ground and swing your calves back and forth, if you feel a sound in your knee joints, then it is safe to say that you are now suffering from a serious loss of qi and blood all over your body.
If you can't feel it, well, you try the children's knees, you try the elderly's knees, and you will have the right feeling.
Why is the knee ringing problem serious? Because in traditional Chinese medicine, the knee is the house of tendons, and the liver is the main tendon, and the liver is the blood store. Only when there is a lack of blood in the liver will the above conditions occur.
The liver and kidney are homologous, and the liver and blood are deficient, which is inevitably kidney deficiency. This kind of person, if you go down the stairs or down the mountain, when the knee joint is stressed and needs a large amount of blood supply, the blood supply must not be available, so you will feel pain on both sides of the knee, especially the lateral pain.
The disease is present in the limbs and five senses, and the disease is present in the five internal organs. Then how we should regulate it will be clear, and I will send you twenty words.
1. Be active
Especially for friends who take the computer as their companion every day, they should get up and move their necks when they use the computer for a while, but do not do 360-degree circular movements, only make 90-degree turns to the left and 90 degrees to the right to ensure that the ligaments on both sides of our necks can be evenly stretched.
2. Keep away from air conditioning
In particular, don't let the air conditioner blow straight at you. Because people's sweat pores are open in summer, when the air conditioner blows, cold and dampness can easily enter the body, which will aggravate the calcification of our ligaments.
3. Put an end to coke
Reduce the intake of all carbonated beverages, including cola, as this process of boiling frogs in warm water is gradual and therefore difficult to be taken seriously.
4. Open up the meridians
This is the most important point. If the neck is uncomfortable, the easiest way is to scrape and pull the can. Do it once a week to make sure your neck is soft, not hard. It's warm to the touch, not cold.
A rattling of the neck is definitely not a small problem, he has already said that your physical condition is in aging, and you must pay close attention to it.
Nowadays, many people in their 20s and 30s who use computers a lot seem to be aging very quickly, and I wonder if they will be able to work until they are 35 years old. This is by no means alarmist!
