之前提過彎曲度是有類似彈簧的效果,
因為長期低頭族,頸椎就會慢慢失去原有的彎曲度,
進而必須承受比一般人更多的重量。
Mentioned earlier curvature is springlike effect,
Because long-term, bending head forward,
Cervical spine will gradually lose their cervical curvature,
It will bear more weight than the normal curvature.
以下就是一個實例:
這位病患的投訴是肩頸緊繃,
當我們看看他的核磁共振影像,
Here is an example: The patient complained of his neck tightly,
when we look at his magnetic resonance imaging,
可以發覺頸椎上方應有的曲度不見了,
而不見曲度的C3/C4,C4/C5,C5/C6節數,
就已經失去了普通關節應該會有的緩衝機制,
進而造成這三節的椎間盤後方都有凸出,
也因凸出的椎間盤壓迫後方的神經線,
患者也會有長期手臂疼痛,
這也是為何脊椎的彎曲度很重要。
You can find the top of the cervical curvature is loss his curvature
and become reverse curve, and especially level of C3 / C4, C4 / C5, C5 / C6.
He lost the buffer mechanism, this in turn causes the disc has protruded behind.
Also, because of the protruding disc impinge the nerve,
The patient has symptom of arm pain.
That is why the curvature of the spine is very important.
