Specialists call the neck hump strongly protruding sections of the cervical vertebrae. The hump on the neck can be a manifestation of several diseases. So, it often indicates developing osteochondrosis of the cervical spine. At the same time, it can occur with excessive work of the adrenal glands. There are frequent cases of the occurrence of such "cones" in people who endure constant heavy physical exertion, which lead to strong muscle tightening.
If you hear a crunch when turning your head, and constant pain in the neck, shoulders and back annoys you, and at the same time, the hump on your neck becomes larger, you should immediately begin to restore your health. Ignoring the problems that arise will lead to a noticeable decrease in all body functions, a worsening of the general condition. With this disease, people are increasingly suffering from headaches (including migraines), numbness of the limbs (especially at night), depression and increased irritability. They become weather-dependent, and any changes in weather conditions only worsen their overall well-being.
First of all, you need to decide on the methods of eliminating this neoplasm. An important role in this is played by the position of the body during rest and night sleep. To correct the hump on the neck, you should immediately abandon the voluminous, soft pillows, mattresses and feather beds. They lead to deformity of the spine in a supine position. The place to sleep should be pretty tough. The body, and especially the head, should not โfall throughโ into bedding. The optimal thickness of the pillow is 10 cm.
If the cervical hump has arisen as a result of progressive osteochondrosis, regular massage and swimming training will bring significant relief. In the event of a "bump" under the influence of physical activity, regular massage of the cervical region, physiotherapy and anti-inflammatory therapy are necessary. There are a number of exercises aimed specifically at eliminating the cervical hump. In the case of continuous implementation of the above measures, the cervical spine will return to normal over time. Do not despair if you do not have the opportunity to regularly conduct massage sessions with expensive specialists. Even simple self-massage of the cervical hump zone can bring significant relief, and combining it with the necessary exercises will help to achieve a noticeable result.
The question arises, how to remove the hump on the neck, if it arose as a result of intensive work of the adrenal glands. In this case, in the area of โโthe seventh cervical vertebra, a fat roll is gradually formed, which doctors call Itenko-Cushing's syndrome. With this pathology, redistribution of adipose tissue occurs throughout the body, including on the upper parts of the body and neck. With this syndrome, the buttocks and limbs of a person, on the contrary, lose adipose tissue. In this case, you should immediately contact the appropriate specialist to carefully check the condition of the adrenal glands and determine the level of hormones in the blood. With this disease, there is one rule: the earlier treatment begins, the higher the chances of getting rid of this ailment.
Another reason for which there is a hump on the neck can be an incorrect lifestyle, exacerbated by a lack of exercise, and the habit of constantly stooping. In this case, along with massage sessions, gymnastics (stretching, Pilates, callanetics) and yoga classes are an excellent method to get rid of this defect. With such a load on the spine, the effect is achieved quite quickly, and the cervical vertebrae will become in a normal position after 2 months of regular exercise.
