随着社会工作节奏的加快、劳动强度的增加、竞争压力的增大,过去被称为“老年病”的颈椎病,如今已经在年轻人中渐渐“流行”起来,发病率有明显的升高趋势,尤其是那些长期伏案工作、长时间同电脑打交道的上班族。“颈椎病离年轻的上班族只有1厘米!”这句话非常形象地说明了上班族的颈椎健康隐患有多大!
With the quickening pace of society, increasing career demands and highly competitive work environment, people today face more pressure in their daily lives than ever before. Cervical spondylopathy, previously called the “aged disease” because it primarily affected older people, now plagues a growing number of young professionals and has contributed to rising morbidity rates for this demographic, especially in offices wher workers are confined to their desks and computer to perform their daily work routines.
颈椎除了是中枢神经和颈动脉的交通要道所在,还是通向大脑和面部五官神经的主要枢纽。另外,它与腰椎亦紧密相连。倘若颈椎病患者任颈椎病自行发展,可牵一发而动全身,极容易造成头、颈、肩、腰等相关疾病,更有甚至还会出现半身不遂、瘫痪等症状。
The cervical vertebra not only serves as the vital communication link for the central nervous system and carotid artery, but also connects nerves in the brain and face. It also links the lumbar vertebra. If patients allow their cervical spondylopathy to drift or become misaligned it can affect the rest of their body, causing brain, neck, shoulder and waist-related diseases or in severe cases hemiplegia and paralysis.
颈椎神经系统能够控制和调节人体所有器官和组织。颈椎及椎间盘的排列异常会引起人体神经系统的刺激,并进一步影响相对部位器官的功能,而且由于这些部位的功能障碍可能产生各种症状。
The nervous system has the ability to control and regulate all of the body’s organs and tissues. Any abnormal alignment of cervical vertebra and intervertebral discs will stimulate the nervous system and affect, sometimes negatively, the function of its corresponding organs, causing various symptoms.
