We know to change hands when lifting heavy objects, and we also know to change postures when sleeping, but why don’t we know to move our neck occasionally when playing with our mobile phones?

You should know that if the cervical spine maintains a posture for a long time, it may only be muscle soreness at first, but gradually bone hyperplasia will occur, and the spinal canal and intervertebral foramen will become narrow, causing spinal cord compression or nerve root compression, and symptoms such as numbness and weakness in the limbs, neck pain, and even dizziness and chest tightness.

To put it simply: keeping your head down for a long time will create pressure on your neck, which will eventually cause cervical spondylosis.

The best way to prevent "cell phone neck" is to move your neck frequently and avoid keeping your head down for long periods of time.

For example, when you are looking at your phone, try to keep your eyes level. When you are using a computer, put a few books under the computer screen, or lower your chair so that your head does not lower when you are looking at the computer.

Don't keep your neck in a fixed position for a long time. Slowly turn your neck every half an hour, stand up and stretch to relax your neck.

In addition, sleeping with a high pillow or lying on the sofa with your head resting on the armrest will cause excessive flexion of the cervical spine, increase the pressure on the intervertebral disc, and accelerate the degeneration of the intervertebral disc.

When sleeping at night, many people like to read or watch TV in a semi-recumbent position, which will cause excessive flexion of the cervical spine.

Proper exercise can also strengthen neck muscles, improve muscle fatigue, increase neck flexibility, and reduce the risk of cervical spondylosis.

When looking at a mobile phone, you can place the phone parallel to your line of sight, and keep the distance between the phone and your face 33 to 35 cm; the screen should not be too bright. In addition, it is not recommended to use the phone for a long time in a dark environment.

1. When lying down and watching your phone, it is best to use a pillow to keep your joints stable;

2. Try to sit down and watch your phone. If you are used to lying on your side, try to adjust the height of the pillow so that your head and body are in the same straight line, and choose a mattress with moderate hardness;

3. When you look at your phone in a semi-recumbent position, the muscles that keep your head lifted use less force, but looking down at your phone for a long time can easily cause pain in your head and neck. You can hold up your phone to ensure that your head and body are in a straight line, and also pay attention to supporting your waist.

4. When browsing your phone at night, try to lower the brightness of the display or turn on the night mode. If the phone screen is too bright and the contrast with the night environment is too great, it will cause eye fatigue and affect eye health.

5. Don’t use your phone for too long. Put it down every once in a while, look out the window, close your eyes and let your eyes rest. At the same time, move your neck back and forth, left and right to protect the health of your cervical spine.

The editor would like to remind all mobile phone experts that no matter how convenient and fun a mobile phone is, it is not as important as your own health. Change the habit of keeping your phone in your hand, chat with your family more and do other things!
