When we have neck stiffness, neck pain, we often have the habit of self-massaging or rotating, bending the neck to the sides. A lot of people also think that when doing the above actions, she makes a cry, the better. However, this is a misconception and very dangerous, especially when you are not knowledgeable or are suffering from some diseases.
Because the neck region has a dense vascular system, especially the “dead triangle” with many important vessels, including the carotid artery. Improper exposure can easily cause acute cardiovascular complications, even life-threatening. Therefore, there are 4 types of people who absolutely should never rotate, break or massage their neck without the intervention of a medical professional:
1. Patients with cervical spondylosis
This is a very common bone and joint disease in modern young people, especially office workers.
When you have cervical spondylosis, it is inevitable that the neck area is often painful and uncomfortable. However, do not be foolish to massage yourself or break your neck in many directions when you encounter this situation. Because your neck area at this time has been reduced in function, very sensitive. Just one small mistake can make the disease worse, even life-threatening.
Of course, you should not endure the pain but need to go to a specialist hospital for examination. Whether massage or physical therapy, it should only be performed by trained medical professionals and a treatment facility with adequate emergency equipment if unexpected complications arise.
2. People suffering from the following 3 diseases
High blood pressure, diabetes, and blood fat are the three diseases that are taboo with self-massage, or bending or turning the neck. No matter how painful it is, do not arbitrarily because it can cause you to be hospitalized in an emergency or lose your life like playing.
Because these diseases adversely affect blood vessels, nerve damage, and especially blood clots (also called thrombosis). While the neck area contains many important arteries, including the carotid artery. Improper massage or exercise is very easy to cause carotid artery dissection, leading to stroke, cerebral infarction as well as other acute cardiovascular and neurological complications.
3. People with osteoporosis
If you think that osteoporosis is a disease only seen in the elderly, you are wrong. Nowadays, due to the unhealthy working environment and living habits, more and more young people, office workers, students, and students suffer from early osteoporosis.
For these people, arbitrarily massaging the neck can “cure a pig that is crippled”. Even when going to massage facilities that are not reputable enough, technicians who are only good at massage but do not have enough medical knowledge can also be dangerous.
For example, when performing the wrong technique and using inappropriate force, it can cause damage to the bones of the cervical spine, compress the arteries, fracture, herniated disc… Instead, you can practice yoga, practice yoga, and practice yoga. Apply hot compress method to promote blood circulation and relieve discomfort from daily neck pain.
