Cervical spondylosis can be prevented by paying attention to regular rest and similar measures. Insufficient sleep, overwork, and maintaining the same posture for prolonged periods may worsen symptoms of cervical spondylosis. It is recommended to keep the neck warm and protected from dampness, maintain proper cervical spine posture, and avoid long-term head-down positions. Use a pillow of appropriate height during sleep, change postures regularly when working for extended periods, and gently move the neck and shoulders. Avoid catching colds and exposure of the neck to drafts; pay attention to keeping the neck and shoulders warm in daily life, which can be achieved by wearing scarves or high-collared clothing.
