在当今的现代化工作生活中，上班族们常常长时间伏案工作，对着电脑一坐就是几个小时，久而久之，颈椎疼痛便成了许多人的困扰。为此，现在梁世杰科研团队就带你一起来探索中医穴位按摩的神奇之处，让你轻松缓解颈椎痛，远离“颈椎危机”。
中医认为，颈椎疼痛主要是由于颈部经络气血不通、筋骨失养所致。而穴位按摩则是通过刺激特定的穴位，调节人体的气血流通，从而达到缓解疼痛、舒筋活络的效果。下面，就让我们来认识几个关键的穴位吧。
第一个穴位是风池穴。风池穴位于后颈部，枕骨下，两条大筋外侧凹陷处。用双手拇指分别按在两侧的风池穴上，其余四指放在头部两侧，轻轻用力按揉，每次按摩 1 至 2 分钟。按摩风池穴可以起到疏风散寒、开窍镇痛的作用，对于缓解颈椎疼痛、头痛、头晕等症状有很好的效果。
第二个穴位是大椎穴。大椎穴位于颈部下端，第七颈椎棘突下凹陷处。用食指和中指并拢，用力按压大椎穴，每次按压 3 至 5 秒，然后松开，重复操作 10 至 15 次。大椎穴是人体的重要穴位之一，按摩大椎穴可以振奋人体阳气，通经活络，对于改善颈椎疼痛、预防感冒等都有一定的作用。
第三个穴位是肩井穴。肩井穴位于肩部最高处，在大椎与肩峰端连线的中点。用拇指和食指相对用力，拿捏肩井穴，每次拿捏 10 至 15 下。按摩肩井穴可以疏通肩部经络，缓解肩部肌肉紧张，对于治疗颈椎病引起的肩部疼痛、僵硬等症状有很好的效果。
除了以上三个穴位，还有天柱穴、后溪穴等也对缓解颈椎疼痛有一定的作用。天柱穴位于后发际正中旁开 1.3 寸处，用拇指按压天柱穴，每次按压 1 至 2 分钟，可以缓解颈椎疼痛、头痛、视力模糊等症状。后溪穴位于微握拳，第 5 指掌关节后尺侧的远侧掌横纹头赤白肉际处。用拇指按压后溪穴，每次按压 3 至 5 秒，然后松开，重复操作 10 至 15 次。后溪穴是八脉交会穴之一，与督脉相通，按摩后溪穴可以通督脉，利颈椎，对于缓解颈椎疼痛、手指麻木等症状有很好的效果。
那么，如何正确进行穴位按摩呢?首先，要保持放松的状态，可以选择坐在椅子上或者躺在床上进行按摩。其次，按摩的力度要适中，不要过于用力，以免造成损伤。如果在按摩过程中感到疼痛或者不适，应立即停止按摩，并咨询专业医生的意见。最后，穴位按摩需要长期坚持才能取得良好的效果，不要期望一次按摩就能完全治愈颈椎疼痛。
此外，为了更好地预防和缓解颈椎疼痛，上班族们在日常生活中还应注意以下几点：一是要保持正确的坐姿，避免长时间低头或者弯腰，每隔一段时间就要起身活动一下颈部和腰部;二是要选择合适的枕头，枕头的高度和硬度要适中，以保证颈部的自然曲度;三是要加强颈部的锻炼，可以通过做颈部操、游泳等方式来增强颈部肌肉的力量，预防颈椎疾病的发生。
总之，中医穴位按摩是一种简单、安全、有效的缓解颈椎疼痛的方法。无需复杂的工具，只需几分钟的时间，你就可以在办公室或者家里享受到中医理疗的神奇效果。让我们一起行动起来，远离“颈椎危机”，拥抱健康生活!如果上述解决不了您的问题，记得要找靠谱的中医去摸脉治疗。

Traditional Chinese acupuncture massage easily relieves "office workers" neck pain.
In today's modern working life, office workers often work long hours in front of their desks, sitting for hours at a computer, and over time, cervical pain has become a problem for many people. For this reason, now Liang Shijie's research team will take you to explore the magic of traditional Chinese acupuncture massage, so that you can ease neck pain and stay away from "neckline crisis."
According to traditional Chinese medicine, cervical pain is mainly caused by the incompatibility of the neck meridians, blood and muscles, and bone loss. And acupressure massage is to regulate the flow of air and blood through the human body by stimulating specific acupressure points, thereby achieving the effect of relieving pain and relieving the muscles and circulation. Below, let's recognize a few key caves.
The first cave is a wind pool cave. The wind pool hole is located in the back of the neck, under the pillow bone, in a depression on the outer side of two large muscles. Apply both thumbs to the wind tunnel on each side, with the remaining four fingers on either side of the head. Gently and forcefully massage for 1 to 2 minutes at a time. Massage of wind pools can play a role in easing the wind, easing the cold, healing the pain, and has a good effect on relieving symptoms such as neck pain, headache, dizziness and so on.
The second acupuncture is the Great Spine. The great vertebrae is located at the lower end of the neck, where there is a depression under the seventh cervical vertebrae. Bring your index finger and middle finger together and press the large vertebrae hard for 3 to 5 seconds at a time, then release and repeat 10 to 15 times. The greater vertebrae is one of the important points of the human body. Massage the greater vertebral vertebrae can stimulate the human body's masculine spirit, promote circulation, and play a role in improving cervical pain and preventing colds.
The third cave is the shoulder pit. The shoulder pit is located at the highest point of the shoulder, at the midpoint where the vertebrae connects to the end of the Shoulder Peak. With relative strength of your thumb and forefinger, pinch the shoulder pit for 10 to 15 strokes at a time. Massage Jianjing can dredge the shoulder meridian, alleviate the shoulder muscle tension, for the treatment of cervical spondylosis caused by shoulder pain, stiffness and other symptoms have a very good effect.
In addition to the above three points, there are also Tianzhu Cave and Back Creek Cave, which also play a role in relieving cervical pain. The temple is located 1.3 inches in the middle side of the rear hair. Press the temple with your thumb for 1 to 2 minutes at a time. This can relieve symptoms such as neck pain, headaches, and blurred vision. The posterior brook is located in the pale flesh of the far hand striatal head on the rear foot of the 5th finger joint in a fist-clenched fist. Press the rear brook with your thumb for 3 to 5 seconds at a time, then release and repeat 10 to 15 times. Houxi point is one of the eight confluence points, which is connected with the Governor Vessel. Massage Houxi point can connect the Governor Vessel and benefit the cervical spine. It has good effect on relieving cervical pain and numbness of fingers.
So how to properly perform acupuncture massage? First, to maintain a relaxed state, you can choose to sit in a chair or lie in bed for a massage. Secondly, the massage should be moderate in intensity and not overly vigorous so as not to cause damage. If you feel pain or discomfort during the massage, stop the massage immediately and consult a professional doctor. Finally, acupuncture massage requires long-term adherence to achieve good results. Do not expect one massage to completely cure cervical pain.
In addition, in order to better prevent and relieve cervical pain, office workers should also pay attention to the following points in their daily life: First, to maintain the correct sitting position, avoid lowering or bending for a long time, and to get up every once in a while to move the neck and waist; The second is to choose a suitable pillow. The height and hardness of the pillow should be moderate to ensure the natural curvature of the neck. Third, it is necessary to strengthen neck exercises. Neck muscle strength can be enhanced by doing neck exercise and swimming, etc., to prevent the occurrence of cervical diseases.
In conclusion, traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture massage is a simple, safe and effective way to relieve neck pain. Without complicated tools, in just a few minutes, you can enjoy the magic effects of traditional Chinese physical therapy in the office or at home. Together, let's move away from the cervical crisis and embrace healthy living! If the above does not solve your problem, remember to find a reliable Chinese medicine practitioner to treat your pulse.
