Teenager's neck cracking

Adolescence is a critical period of growth and development, so we need to pay attention to all indicators of physical development. However, in daily life, many people believe that the crackling sound in the neck of teenagers is a manifestation of growth and height. This concept has no scientific basis. The crackling sound in the neck of teenagers may be related to physiological structure, learning environment and posture, and excessive drinking of carbonated beverages.

1. Neck cracking in teenagers

Many people now have necks that feel hard and cold, and they make crackling noises when they turn their necks. Many people are puzzled. You can't find any valuable answers by searching online. Few people understand this except those who believe in advertisements. Here I will tell you why your neck makes crackling noises when you turn your neck. How to solve the problem of crackling necks. When you understand the reason, you will know how to solve it.

Why does my neck make a sound when I turn it?

Please note that children have soft bodies and will never have neck cracking problems. When we get older and move our bodies, we will experience cracking joints, including shoulder and knee joints. At this time, we will say, "Oh, we are old and have old arms and legs." What are old arms and legs? In fact, it is because our body's blood supply is insufficient, causing our body to become hard and the joints to grind dryly due to lack of blood.

There are intervertebral discs between the bones of our spine. What is the function of intervertebral discs? 80% of the intervertebral discs are water. The younger you are, the higher the water content. When you get old, the water is lost and the intervertebral discs shrink. Therefore, when you get old, your body becomes weak. This is the reason. In fact, the water here refers to blood.

In my opinion, the main function of the intervertebral disc is to cushion the impact. For example, when we jump up to play a ball and fall down, the ground will produce a reaction force on the human body. If there is no intervertebral disc, it will become a collision between bones. How can a person withstand it? In addition, when our body is bent, the role of the intervertebral disc is also to protect our bones from being damaged during movement.

Now that we understand this principle, it is not difficult for us to understand why the bones in our necks make crackling sounds when we turn them. This may still be difficult to understand, so let me give you an example.

Many people must have ridden a bicycle. If our axle is short of oil, what will it feel like? It must be hard to ride, right? You must feel that the ball inside is not flexible, right? This kind of noise is a bit similar to the noise of our neck, but the rotation of the bicycle axle depends on oil, while the rotation between our bones depends on blood. When we are deficient in both blood and qi, the intervertebral discs between our bone joints will not have sufficient blood and qi supply, which will cause dry grinding, and the noise will become natural.

2. Why do bone joints become diseased?

Some of you may still not understand why bones and joints, especially the cervical and lumbar spine, are more prone to disease. In fact, there are many reasons, mainly three points:

1

physiological structure.

We noticed a phenomenon that our cervical and lumbar vertebrae are particularly prone to problems, but the thoracic vertebrae are much better. This is because our thoracic vertebrae are protected by the ribs, forming a force interaction to ensure that our thoracic vertebrae can remain neutral. However, our cervical and lumbar vertebrae are not like this. They are not fixed by the ribs, but rely on multiple ligaments and small muscle groups. If these tissues have problems, it will cause problems in our cervical and lumbar vertebrae.

2

working posture.

When muscles are under tension, lactic acid will accumulate over time, causing muscle soreness. Under normal circumstances, if our arms and legs are sore, we can quickly relieve this lactic acid accumulation by doing some exercise. However, it is different when using computers. Since we are in a weak state of tension for a long time, it is like boiling a frog in warm water. By the time we notice it, it is already too late. The consequence is that the ligaments around our cervical and lumbar vertebrae will slowly form calcification due to insufficient supply of blood and qi, and the pulling force on both sides will begin to be uneven. Over time, the intervertebral disc will herniate, squeezing the surrounding tissue and nerves, and our cervical and lumbar spondylosis will form.

3

working environment.

If our working environment is severely cold and humid, for example, we work in a basement or under an air conditioner, the cold and humidity in the environment will enter our body, especially for the muscles and ligaments where the qi and blood are not smooth enough, thus forming a potential impact and aggravating the condition of the diseased parts.

4

Excessive consumption of carbonated drinks.

We have talked about this issue many times. Carbonated drinks can cause decalcification in the body. Over time, our bones will become very loose. At that time, it is not just a bone creaking problem, but it can also easily lead to fractures. This situation is very common in the elderly society in the West.

Therefore, the reasons why cervical and lumbar spine diseases are prone to occur include physiological structure, work habits, work environment, and diet. In short, these are all manifestations of modern lifestyle diseases.
