The "shrimp" pose and the wrong pillow: a doctor named habits that cause neck pain - it's better not to do this
Pain and discomfort in the neck can occur for a variety of reasons.
Moreover, some daily habits can also influence this.
Osteopathic physician Dmitry Simkin shared the details, as reported by Doctor Peter .
It is noted that neck pain can occur due to incorrect body position while using gadgets.
That is why the specialist named the so-called “shrimp” pose among the bad habits.
In this case, the neck is positioned at a right angle, and the head in this situation is lowered down.
But if you regularly and for a long time stay in this position, tension may arise in the cervical spine.
So when using gadgets, the expert recommends keeping your back straight.
In addition, neck problems will not take long to appear if you work with a laptop constantly.
The doctor explained that the small screen affects the vision, forcing it to strain.
In such a situation, the cervical spine also suffers, because tension also appears there. Therefore, the specialist advises placing the screen higher.
Sleeping on your stomach also has a negative effect on your neck. In this case, your head is turned to one side for a long time.
This can result in twisting of the cervical vertebrae.
And this is fraught with compression of the vertebral artery or “jamming” of the vertebrae.
In addition, for the health of the neck it is important to choose the right pillow. For example, it can be orthopedic. You just need to choose the right option.
