The cervical vertebrae are more than just elements of the osteoskeletal system. Disorders and diseases of the cervical spine affect the whole body. Your eyesight, hearing and balance can deteriorate. The flow of blood to the head is reduced, which results in vertigo and tension-induced pain. Pressure on nerve roots causes the numbing and weakening of arms and legs. Cervical discopathy impairs the work of the heart and lungs, and disrupts the functioning of the autonomous nervous system. Preventing spinal degeneration should be mandatory in our times when we work hard and get little rest. First of all, you need to focus on increasing the mobility of the vertebrae. This is aided by maintaining the correct posture and by preventive exercises. But before you begin therapy for your cervical spine, you need to learn what to look for, what movements are not recommended, and what movements can actually cause harm. Because the anatomy of the cervical spine is complex, not every movement of the neck and head is a good movement. Positions described in this guide solve this problem by supporting and stabilizing the head. Each movement is applied only to a selected section of the cervical spine, the head is not used as a lever, and the range of motion of the cervical spine is controlled. This guide will present you with scientific information on: the importance of cervical vertebrae for your whole body, the symptoms and complications of cervical vertebrae degeneration, how we move our heads - the basic information on proper functioning of cervical vertebrae, how to perform exercises in line with the natural mobility of cervical vertebrae, how to relax the neck muscles - exercises and physiotherapy to perform at home, recommended by a physician specializing in rehabilitation and manual therapy. The guide contains: 141 drawings and photographs, 22 exercises that mobilize the whole cervical spine, 8 correct positions for neck exercises, 4 forbidden head movements, 7 steps to health - the sequence for performing cervical spine exercises, 6 methods of at-home physiotherapy.
