Spine Care
In our daily life, we are spending a lot of time on mobile and computers, isn’t it? It leads to putting pressure on the back and neck. Please follow the message given in this article as I care for you. Do you care for your spine?
Bending the head at a 60-degree angle to look at a phone or pc, the laptop screen puts the 27kg worth of pressure on the cervical spine, the part of the spine above the shoulders, the study found. That is heavier than the average seven-year-old.
The extra pressure leads to early wear and tear, causing neck and back pain. In the worst case, the person may need surgery, experts said. Led by Dr. Kenneth Hansraj, spine surgery chief at New York spine surgery and Rehabilitation Medicine, researchers found the amount of force on the neck increase with the degree it is bent.
Tilting the head by 45 degrees by 45 degrees adds the force of 22kg to the neck a CBS news report said, A 30-degree neck tilt equals 18 kg, while a 15-degree neck tilt puts an extra 12 kg on the spine.
Writing in the study, the researchers said: “the weight seen by the spine increases dramatically when forward head flexing at varying degrees.” The loss of the natural curve of the cervical spine leads to increase stress on the neck they added. They said, “This stress may lead to early wear, tear, degeneration, and possibly surgeries.” So it is necessary to take care of your posture while working.
Good Posture for Spine Care
They concluded:” While it is impossible to avoid the technologies that cause these types of spine issues. The individual should make an effort to look carefully at their phones with a neutral spine posture. And to avoid spending hours each day continuously.”
According to the researchers, bad posture is when the head is tilted forward and the shoulders drop forward in a rounded position.
Good posture was defined as having ears aligned with the shoulders and the shoulder blades retracted. previous Bad posture leads to a number of health problems. Follow this and have a healthy life.
