What summer lifestyle habits trigger the onset of white-collar cervical spondylosis?
Summer is a high-incidence season for cervical spondylosis, and people with qi deficiency and dampness-heavy constitutions should take preventive measures as summer approaches, which is currently this time of year.
1. High temperatures increase the number of turns during sleep, leading to stiff necks. We should try to keep the indoor temperature not too hot; additionally, adding a grass mat cover to the pillow can also be very useful.
2. Hot weather causes irritability, which can trigger cervical spondylosis. Studies show that moody and easily-angered individuals are prone to neurasthenia, which affects the rest of bones, joints, and muscles. Over time, this can lead to pain in the neck and shoulder areas. In summer, we must pay attention to maintaining a healthy, happy, and peaceful mood.
3. Low air conditioning temperatures or excessive use of fans can cause neck exposure to cold, triggering cervical spondylosis. Cervical spondylosis is closely related to being chilled. In offices during summer, the air conditioning temperature is often set very low, especially if one's seat is directly facing the air conditioner or if women wear strapless clothing. The neck and back muscles can easily become cold, potentially triggering cervical spondylosis.
