1. Avoid cold water baths
Cervical spondylosis patients should try to avoid cold water baths, especially after sweating, as it can easily cause acute symptoms. After exercise or sweating, taking a warm shower can not only relieve heat, but also effectively alleviate stiffness or pain in the neck and shoulders.
2. Control the temperature of the air conditioner
Using air conditioning in the summer can cause acute neck pain due to the cold air on the neck. While enjoying the coolness, it is important to pay attention to the temperature of the air conditioner. When using a fan at night, also remember to keep the neck and shoulders warm during the cooler night.
3. Bring a shawl for a leisurely walk by the river
During summer nights, many people enjoy leisurely walks by the river or lake. However, the low temperatures near the water can also cause discomfort in the neck and shoulders due to the cold wind. If you feel your neck getting cold, massage it with your hands in a timely manner. It is recommended for women to bring a shawl for extra warmth.
4. Stick to a light diet in summer
Spicy foods can easily cause inflammation and heat in the body. For patients with cervical spondylosis, inflammation in the neck can directly stimulate nearby muscles and ligaments, leading to imbalance and symptoms such as pain in the cervical vertebrae. Therefore, it is important to stick to a light diet in order to prevent such symptoms.
