Are push-ups good for your cervical spine?

Cervical spondylosis is a very common disease nowadays. People always play with their mobile phones with their heads down in various occasions, or work at a desk with their heads down for a long time or do heavy physical work. Over time, it will cause cervical spondylosis, which is very scary because cervical spondylosis has become the most popular disease. So, are push-ups good for the cervical spine? Next, let’s take a look at the detailed information.

Nowadays, many people hope to alleviate cervical problems by practicing yoga, but patients with cervical spondylosis also need to be special when practicing yoga. Gentle and slow movements can indeed help relax the neck muscles, but the neck should not be stretched too much. Be aware of your limits. If you are not careful, the already damaged neck muscles will be worse.

Use a railing table to do push-ups

Experts say that to completely cure cervical spondylosis, we must first find out the cause and then prescribe the right medicine. Nowadays, many young people like to keep their heads down playing with their mobile phones and posting on Weibo on the subway, or lying on the bed playing with iPad and watching movies. These habits can easily lead to overuse of the neck muscles and cause pain. When a person's body is in a prone position, the force that the neck needs to bear is dozens or even a hundred times that when standing. Therefore, doing more prone exercises can exercise the neck muscles and prevent cervical diseases.

"To prevent and treat mild cervical spondylosis, we must first do a good job of daily health care, such as promptly changing the habit of long-term bending over a desk, long-term reading with the head raised, or lying or half-lying in bed." He said, in addition, patients should also choose health care methods according to their own physical condition. Young and strong patients with good physical fitness can choose push-ups, breaststroke and other exercises to strengthen their neck muscles; patients with weaker physical fitness can choose half push-ups, that is, using railings, tables and other objects to perform push-ups at 45 to 60 degrees.

The above is a detailed introduction on whether push-ups can help people relieve related issues of cervical spondylosis after they suffer from cervical spondylosis. According to the information, push-ups can help people relieve cervical spondylosis, but people must let their neck rest from time to time, otherwise it will be ineffective.
