    Picking up the remote control and curling up on the side of the sofa to watch your favorite TV program is a favorite of many people. But such relaxation will not only oppress the stomach and cause indigestion, but also a mechanical injury to the neck and lumbar spine. If the habit is maintained, the neck muscles continue to contract, the blood vessels are compressed, blocking the blood circulation of the muscles, which accelerates the degeneration of the cervical spine. When the intensity of the pressure before and after the cervical spine is inconsistent, it is easy to cause changes in the structure of the intervertebral disc. Symptoms such as numbness in the upper arm, dizziness, headache, and even nausea and vomiting.
