What Are Common Causes of Hand and Arm Pain?

It is mainly due to the involvement of spinal thalamus and other sensory nerve fiber bundles. The course of the disease is short and the pain is mild. The nature of the pain is dull or dull pain, which does not affect the functional activities of the upper limbs. The range of pain is either limited to the shoulders, or affects the back of the shoulders and hinders the back, or affects the upper arms at the front of the shoulders, often with a sense of urgency in the back or upper arms.

The cervical intervertebral disc protrudes laterally, and the posterior edge of the vertebral body

In the prevention of cervical spondylosis, measures should be taken from both the etiology and the causes of the onset of the disease to effectively reduce the incidence and prevent recurrence of the cured patients. The cervical spine is part of the spine and should be prevented from the entire spine.

(1) Prevent acute head, neck, and shoulder trauma: head and neck injuries, bump injuries, and whiplash injuries are all prone to damage to the cervical spine and surrounding soft tissues, which directly or indirectly cause cervical spondylosis, so it should be actively prevented. Occurrence should be promptly checked and treated thoroughly.

(II) Correct the bad posture in life and prevent chronic injury: The chronic strain of neck and shoulder soft tissue is the pathological basis of cervical spondylosis. Poor posture in life is one of the main causes of chronic strain, so correct daily life Poor posture is very important to prevent cervical spondylosis.

(3) Reasonable use of pillows: Pillows are a protective tool for the neck column. An adult sleeps 6 to 9 hours a day, that is, 1/4 to 1 to 3 days are spent in sleep (on the pillow). So the pillow must fit the physiological requirements of the neck. After a person is asleep, the neck and shoulder muscles are completely relaxed. Only the elasticity of the intervertebral ligament and the joint capsule is used to maintain the normal relationship of the intervertebral structure. Here, the ligaments and joint capsules are stretched and damaged, which causes instability of the cervical spine, joint dislocation, and then develops into cervical spondylosis.

Good sleeping posture is very important for the health of the spine. The human trunk, shoulders and pelvis have a large transverse diameter. When lying on the side, the spine is bent due to the influence of the mattress. If you focus on one side for a long time, the spine will gradually bend sideways. , Need to get up to move back to normal, in severe cases can develop spinal disease.

(4) To prevent chronic strain, in addition to balancing exercise in the workplace or in spare time, you can also choose certain sports according to different ages and physical conditions to carry out muscle strengthening and physical fitness exercises.

It is easy to cause cervical spine injury when you sleep while riding, and you should prevent it as much as possible. Swimmers dive in shallow water, and often have severe injuries to the cervical spine, so diving should go to deep water.

(5) Prevention of the elderly: In the elderly over 50 years old, there are many degenerative changes in the spine, so more attention should be paid to the prevention of spinal disease.
