Spinal diseases seriously endanger the health of the body! 4-point method, self-test whether there are lesions in the spine
The health of the spine is about the health of the whole body. It not only plays a weight-bearing role on the body, but also participates in all our daily movements and balances, and plays a protective role on all important organs in the body. Such as violent spinal fractures in car accidents, or myelopathy, lumbar spondylosis, may cause paralysis below the head or below the waist. Therefore, it is very important to observe whether your spine is healthy in time.
At present, it has been found that there are more than 100 kinds of diseases related to spinal injuries and strains. Once a person's spine is abnormal, there can be many internal organs that seem to have nothing to do with the spine. These diseases involve medicine, surgery, neurology, endocrinology, gynecology, pediatrics, ENT, ophthalmology, oral cavity and dermatology. Many patients go to many hospitals and departments, but the disease cannot be diagnosed and treated. This is because they fail to realize that spinal lesions are the root cause of the above symptoms. Here are 4 ways to help you identify how healthy your spine is:
(1) Try to take a deep breath. If you can breathe smoothly without any discomfort, your spine is healthy. On the contrary, if you feel that there is a breathing disorder such as suffocation, or if you hear a sound at the spine during breathing, it means that you need to check the spine carefully. Usually pay more attention to whether there has been a popping sound in the neck, back and other spinal joints. If so, it means that your spinal joints have accidentally jammed. At this time, you must avoid violently twisting your body, try to maintain a stable state, and seek medical attention in time.
(2) When there is a problem with the cervical spine, it usually affects the normal operation of the brain and makes people feel uncomfortable because of the pain, so it is difficult to concentrate on doing something. If you find that it is difficult to concentrate recently, and there is obvious discomfort in the shoulder and neck, you must take time to check the cervical spine. If the head or hips cannot be easily twisted to the sides, and the range of motion is significantly reduced, you should pay more attention to the cervical and lumbar spine, which may have hidden potential diseases.
(3) When walking, pay attention to see if there is any obvious phenomenon of outer eight characters. If the feet start to move out of the front direction unconsciously, it means that there is a problem with the lumbar spine or hip bones, and there will also be an imbalance of pressure on the spine in the head and neck area. Pay attention to observe the back of the sole of the foot, whether there are often unevenness on both sides. If there is, it means that there may be an imbalance in the force on the feet due to spinal curvature or pelvic deformity, so the high and low feet appear. It is necessary to check the X-ray of the spine and the X-ray of the pelvis, and if there is any disease, treat it in time.
(4) Recall whether you have often felt fatigued recently. When the spine is strained, it will need more energy to replenish, so the speed of energy loss will also increase, which leads to fatigue. "the sound of. This sound is generally caused by subluxation of the neck and requires special attention.
Summary: If you still have the following symptoms on your body, such as decreased physical strength, frequent fatigue, soreness in the shoulders, neck or waist, mental tension, emotional instability, headache, decreased vision, stiff neck and shoulders, decreased appetite, or even Loss of bowel and bladder control, a feeling of "stepping on cotton" in both lower limbs when walking, unsteady grip or weakness in both hands, etc., indicate that your spine may have a problem. Especially the latter three symptoms often indicate cervical spondylotic myelopathy. If the compression is severe and the operation is not performed in time, paralysis is likely to occur, which will seriously affect the normal life and self-care.
