Increasingly, young people are facing problems with the spine.
neurosurgeon Sergey Kuznetsov spoke regarding the main habits that destroy the spine day following day. To date, the trend is such that not only people of age complain regarding a sore back. And the point is not at all that young people tear their backs while unloading coal or drag furniture, and then suffer from osteochondrosis.
The spine is the main support of the entire skeleton. This is a surprisingly complex system, consisting of many bone elements, ligamentous-articular apparatus, blood vessels, spinal cord and spinal nerves. Naturally, the condition of the spine affects all organs and systems,” Kuznetsov explained in an interview with “Dr. Peter».
Every day a person performs the same actions, without attaching special importance to them. Meanwhile, some of them negatively affect the spine. First of all, we are talking regarding the habit of slouching. Most often it occurs from a long sitting at the computer. It’s all because of the wrong organization of the workplace. As a result, the natural anatomical curves of the spine and the curves of its adjacent sections change, and thoracic kyphosis increases. Consequently, the biomechanics of the spine may also change. In a person, the load on the intervertebral discs, ligaments and joints increases, which causes pain in the cervical and thoracic regions, pain in the head.
Love for shoulder bags also leads to an uneven distribution of the load on the shoulder girdle and spine. In childhood, this can lead to the formation of impaired posture and scoliosis. You need to change the shoulder or even use a backpack. It is important that the weight of the load on the shoulder does not exceed 3 kg.
Paradoxically, the habit of sitting cross-legged for a long time is also detrimental to the spine. This posture leads to a skew of the pelvis, once morest which there is a load on various parts of the back. In addition, if you sit cross-legged for a long time, there may be problems with the outflow of venous blood and lymph from the legs.
