27-year-old Xiao Zhang and his colleagues came to a bathroom in Shanghai's Changning District to take a bath, Xiao Zhang chose the "bath + massage" package, he felt a little uncomfortable in his shoulders and neck, and asked the technician to help press it.
The technician said afterwards: He gently helped Xiao Zhang wrench his neck from left to right, "there was a slight sound", and Xiao Zhang was nothing unusual during the whole process.
However, tragedy soon struck......
Soon after Zhang left the bathroom, he felt dizzy and uncomfortable, and was unable to walk. That night, Xiao Zhang was rushed to the hospital, and was pronounced dead the next day due to ineffective rescue.
The family can't figure it out anyway, how can a healthy and healthy boy go to take a bath and lose his life?
The judicial appraisal report found that the massage caused Xiao Zhang's neck to be dislocated, causing cerebral infarction, and causing central nervous system dysfunction and death.
In the end, the Changning District People's Court made a second-instance judgment on this case, ruling that the bathroom should bear 90% of the liability, the technician Shen should bear joint and several liability, and the victim Xiao Zhang should bear 10% of the compensation liability.
This accident is another wake-up call for everyone
The cervical spine really can't be pressed casually!
There was a man who had been using a cervical massager for a long time and suddenly lost half of his body.
Neurologists said that if the neck is massaged for a long time, it may cause local avulsion of the intima of the blood vessels in the neck due to external force, and then under the impact of blood, the avulsed intima will be peeled off into the blood, forming thromboembolism distal blood vessels, resulting in ischemic stroke. Without prompt and appropriate treatment, disability and mortality rates are very high.
In addition, there are dangerous "acupuncture points" in the neck that you don't expect - carotid sinuses.
The location of the carotid sinus is below the human earlobe, above the Adam's apple, and one on each side of the neck, about 5 to 6 cm away from the Adam's apple, as much as the size of a soybean.
It is like an important "acupuncture point", and it happens to be located in the more fragile neck of the human body, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the "seven inches" of human beings.
Chen Zhong, director of the Department of Vascular Surgery at Beijing Anzhen Hospital, said that when the carotid sinus located in the neck is squeezed or continuously compressed, some people may experience a sudden drop in heart rate and blood pressure, resulting in a dark eye, or fainting, and in more serious cases, even death.
Especially in the elderly, there are many atherosclerosis, improper pressure can cause the sclerotic plaque to rupture or fall off, the formation of embolus, if the cerebral blood vessels are blocked, that is, hemiplegia.
Friends, lovers, and especially children tend to laugh and play with each other, and it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of physical contact, such as kissing or making jokes such as pinching the neck.
Serious reminder: compressing the carotid sinus for more than 3 seconds is easy to kill!
Xiaobian reminds that some people are particularly sensitive to carotid sinus sinus, which is called carotid sinus hypersensitivity, as long as light pressure is given, it will cause cardiac arrest, which is particularly easy to cause sudden death.
Therefore, no matter how much you play, you can't touch your neck.
How to prevent cervical spondylosis?
01Avoid bowing your head for a long time
During the acute attack or the first attack of cervical spondylosis, attention should be paid to appropriate rest. Working for a long time can easily cause fatigue damage to the neck muscles and ligaments due to long-term stretching, thereby accelerating the degeneration of the cervical intervertebral disc.
Working too long hours can increase the load on the soft tissues of the shoulder and neck, so it is best to get up and move every 1 hour. To prevent chronic strain, in addition to moving in between work or spare time, you can also choose exercises that suit you and exercise to enhance muscle strength and physical fitness, which is one of the ways to prevent cervical spondylosis.
02 Reasonable and scientific pillows
The pillow is a protective tool for the cervical spine, an adult sleeps 6-9 hours a day, that is, 1/4-1/3 of the time is spent in sleep (on the pillow) every day, so the pillow must be suitable for the physiological requirements of the neck.
If a pillow with an inappropriate height is used for a long time to cause excessive flexion in a certain part of the cervical spine, the ligaments and joint capsule will be stretched and damaged, resulting in instability of the cervical spine, joint misalignment, and then the development of cervical spondylosis.
A few "small actions" to alleviate cervical spondylosis
01 Action 1: Look up at your palms
Exercise tips: Raise your hands above your head, palms up, tilt your head back as far as possible, and look up at the back of your hands.
