long sleep sofa will cause those diseases?
(Author: Tao shop, original articles, without authorization, please do not reprint)
a comfortable sleep is very important, but many people often ignore this problem, sometimes in the living room watching TV, on the way to sleep on the couch, maybe once, twice also I think there is no problem. However, if long-term sleep sofa, it will lead to health problems. So long sleeper sofa which can cause physical illness in the end it? How should we allow ourselves to sleep better health?
1, long sleep sofa on the body will really hurt you? When
when people sleep in too long the soft sofa, gravity is easy to form an intermediate low and high surrounding a concave position, the entire lumbar spine in a non-equilibrium state by force, now in recess (ie, lowest position) muscles and ligaments to maintain spinal stability is excessive tension, muscle and ligaments are relatively high in a relatively relaxed state.
Whenever you are too soft to sleep on the sofa, no matter what your sleeping position, supine or lateral position, all these problems exist, sleep longer, the more the position, the more serious the damage caused. Long, long time, the entire spine muscles fatigue, ligament laxity, would undermine the stability of the spine and the original balance. Long-term imbalance in the body, all kinds of discomfort will ensue, such as back, neck soreness, pain, dizziness and other symptoms. Over time, overwork, physical health. To give us a clearer cause spinal imbalances, we need to look at the knowledge of the spine.
2, and the factors that affect what constitutes spinal stability spine is?
simply it looks, spine consists of vertebrae, intervertebral disc (the nucleus pulposus and annulus composition), filling and covering the ligament (the ligament in the vertebral body around the interspinous ligament, yellow ligament, posterior longitudinal ligament, the former the posterior longitudinal ligament), walk through the spinal canal of the spinal cord and spinal nerves, ligaments and muscles covering the surface of the vertebral body (muscles not shown in this figure) composed of five parts, please control the figure a little bit of memory. Each structure
spine to maintain its normal positional relationship between each other, does not cause spinal cord or spinal nerve root compression and damage, known as "clinically stable", and when the loss of the function of the spine, called "clinical instability . " Clinical instability then bring a variety of disease risk.
factors affecting the stability of the spine include four categories:
1) structural stabilizers - vertebral body shape and size, shape, size and direction of the vertebral articular surface;
2) dynamic stability. device - ligament (which is the focus, and vertebral interbody As can be seen covered with a thick ligament packing, stretch, covering the so-called ligament is what we usually eat "gluten" or "ligament" theoretically yes. extremely tough, they are important to maintain the stability of the spine structure); annulus (one disc structure), articular cartilage;
3) hydrodynamic stabilizers - the nucleus of the degree of swelling (disc structures. a);.
4) discretionary stabilizers - overall muscle movement and local stability muscle (which is also a key).
above four factors of pathological changes or other incentives can lead to decreased stability of the spine, such as spinal fractures cause structural damage to the stabilizer, acute lumbar sprain (ligaments, muscle damage) resulting in dynamic stabilization of the damage, with the with age, the nucleus of the degree of swelling (elastic) decreased, as well as a variety of reasons (for a long time lying on soft sofas, strain, is also a long time lying soft sofas strain) due to decreased muscle strength ligament.
3, long sleep sofa with cervical disease have much relationship?
we first talk about cervical disease, its causes are recognized after cervical disc retrograde degeneration, intervertebral loose produce vertebral osteophytes (also known as bone spurs or osteoarthritis), or ruptured disc prolapse nerve roots, spinal cord or vertebral artery caused by a variety of symptoms of.
we generally common cervical spondylosis especially two categories, one is a local type of cervical disease, which is mainly pillow neck pain, neck limited mobility, cervical muscle stiffness, head and neck will be limited to a certain position, by the side of pain head to the other side, sometimes called acute torticollis, stiff neck belong to what we call the disease. Its pathology is generally: neck muscle sprains, torn ligaments; facet joint capsule incarcerated, nerve root irritation branch, disc disease and the like.
other is nerve root type cervical spondylosis, its performance is arm pain or numbness in the fingers, workers aged over 30 to bow prone. Pathology due to disc herniation biased side, vertebral osteophytes especially vertebral joints hyperplasia can hook protruding into the intervertebral foramen, nerve root, causing the above performance.
these two types of most common causes of cervical disease is due to cervical spine in patients with forced posture caused by too long, such as surgery or long bow write, dentists as professional work habits migraine, put away when not sleeping pillows (especially drink and sleep) and, of course, long slept in soft beds including sofa is also included.
4, long sleep sofa whether it will lead to lumbar disc herniation?
generally believed that after the age of 20 start disc degeneration, its flexibility and resistance to loads also will decline, the daily life of lumbar disc repeatedly subjected to compression, torsion and buckling load, easy to lumbar disc under stress is maximum, posterior annulus that is generated from the inside out fractures, soft bed or couch to sleep when the disc pressure increases, can contribute to the degeneration of the annulus and the cumulative damage further rupture, followed by the nucleus also will be prominent. Annulus injury itself can cause back pain, in addition, the degree of compression of the nerve root nucleus pulposus also will increase the lead to discomfort.
sum, so that long-term sleep sofa is a common cause of lumbar disc herniation.
5, what kind of bed to sleep better health?
medicine generally recommended hard bed, as long as the hard bed, the appropriate layer cotton mattress pad, somatosensory will not be fast enough to dent. Specifically it is to avoid too soft, such as using a thick sponge mattress is risky. Especially children, particularly if long sleep in a soft bed, it will affect the physiological curvature of the spine, resulting in lordosis smaller, growth and development of children affected. In addition, the bed is too hard (such as light board) is also possible because of the oppression paraspinal soft tissue causing local blood circulation, causing pain and discomfort should be avoided.
To keep your bones healthy, prevent premature suffering from muscle strain, cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc disease, etc. These, you do not go against science, all night long on those too soft, seemingly comfortable sofa to sleep myself! Follow your health from the details of life begin!
