As we all know, sleep has an important impact on human health. However, in sleep, sleeping posture is also closely related to human health.
According to media reports, recently, Zou, an 18-year-old girl in Guangzhou, found that after sitting for a long time, she often had symptoms such as low back pain and sore neck. With the increasingly serious pain, she finally chose to go to the hospital for treatment.
After arriving at the hospital, the doctor found that Xiao Zou had no history of trauma. In order to further determine the cause, he took an X-ray for her. Results the X-ray showed that Xiao Zou's lumbar spine bent and rotated to the right, and the spine also turned to the right.
Doctors said that from the X-ray film, spinal and lumbar curvature is the main cause of girls' low back pain. As for the cause of the curvature of the spine and lumbar spine, the doctor inquired and found that it was actually caused by the sleeping position.
Because Xiao Zou and her sister sleep in the same bed. Because I don't want to face each other, I always sleep in one direction. Due to a fixed one-way posture during sleep for a long time, and the posture (lying obliquely) is also wrong, it finally induces the bending of the spine and lumbar spine
Doctors pointed out that in real life, there are many reasons for scoliosis. In addition to congenital and specific diseases, incorrect posture will also cause scoliosis, and sleep posture is also one of the important reasons.
For people who like to sleep on their sides, it is recommended to put a pillow on their legs, or put a pillow between their legs, so that the pelvis will not rotate. Of course, it would be better to sleep on both sides in turn.
In addition, the doctor suggested that when sleeping, we should try to follow the principle of "sleeping on the back, supplemented by sleeping on the side". At ordinary times, we can also carry out bilateral balanced sports such as swimming and running, which has a good effect on the prevention of scoliosis and hunchback.
No matter what sleeping position you use, don't keep a position for a long time, especially those who like to sleep on their sides. It's best to switch a position after a period of time. For cervical health, the pillow should not be too high or too low. The height of heel fist size is the most appropriate.
