5. Make Sure You Are Using a Mattress 

That's too old or old usually does not provide support for your neck and spine. This becomes one of the causes of stiff neck when waking up. Therefore, make sure you use a good mattress or bedding that can help your neck and spine to be in an ideal position.

6. Avoid Sleeping Prone

 Sleep face down has a major influence on the health of the neck and spine. Therefore, try to sleep sideways or on your back (recommended sideways to the right). In modern medical science shows a lot of evidence of the dangers of sleeping face down or stomach. Especially if in this position you sleep soundly and long. Because it can cause the flow of oxygen to be less and result in shortness of breath due to the chest muscle or breathing does not work with the maximum. Apply a healthy lifestyle, and keep good sleep patterns. Not recommended to sleep too late, it is advisable to meet the needs of sleep at least 6-8 hours a day. Note also the pillow and mattress shape that you use to sustain comfort during sleep. 

For Muslims, praying and performing ablution before bed can be a good and healthy habit. By applying a healthy lifestyle and a good sleep pattern, you will avoid a stiff neck after waking up and risk of other illnesses wallahuaklam..

Bahaya memusingkan badan.

Bahaya memusingkan badan ketika Duduk.

Bismillahirahmanirahim, semalam merupakan hari yang mencabar dalam kehidupan saya sebagai seorang fisioterapi , didatangi oleh seorang pemuda yang dahulunya aktif bersukan dan juga bebas didalam melakukan apa apa kerja serta aktiviti , tetapi sekarang terlantar lebih dari 2 minggu kerana sakit belakang yang teramat sangat.
Mr x seorang jurutera muda di syarikat swasta , dalam seminggu 2 kali dia melakukan aktiviti yang sihat seperti bermain badminton dan juga berjoging tetapi dalam masa 4 hari ini tiba tiba dia merasakan ada perubahan yang kurang selesa telah berlaku pada tubuh badan beliau. Pada mulanya kaki beliau hanyalah merasa sakit dan juga menarik dari betis sehingga pergelangan kaki, tetapi hari ini beliau tidak mampu berjalan kerana kaki yang sakit dan juga merasa lemah .
Perjumpaan dengan pakar tulang telah membuka segala teka teki yang tersirat di pemikiran Mr X ini.
Apabila MRI dilakukan pakar tulang mendapati beliau telah mengalami masalah PID L4-L5 with Disc anulus tear.

Pesakit telah berjumpa dengan saya dan mengajukan pelbagai soalan , ini kerana beliau tidak percaya dengan usia yang muda , aktif bersukan dan sihat akhirnya beliau mendapat masalah ini.
setelah saya selidiki dan melakukan assesment terhadap beliau , maka jawapanya adalah ketika beliau di pejabat dan waktu itu ketika beliau memusingkan badan tanpa bahagian bawah badan mengikut pusingan badan tersebut ketika mengambil fail,secara spontan beliau terbatuk dan waktu itu terasa seperti ada renjatan elektrik di bahagian belakang beliau. Pada mulanya Mr X merasakan kaki kanan beliau terasa kebas , dan dia tetap meneruskan tugas seperti biasa , dan di malam harinya dia bermain badminton dengan rakan sekerja , tetapi waktu itu belakang badan beliau sudah mula rasa tegang , akibat merasakan tidak selesa , keesokan harinya Mr X ini pergi melakukan urutan tradisional kerana beranggapan kemungkinan salah urat.

Pada hari kedua keadaan Mr X semakin parah dan kesakitan yang dihadapi oleh beliau sukar untuk berdiri dan juga berjalan sehingga kaki kanan menjadi kebas, sakit dan juga lemah .Ini menyebabkan beliau pergi sekali lagi melakukan urutan tradisional, dengan anggapan kesakitan itu mampu dikurangkan dan beliau akan pulih. Sehinggalah keesokan harinya kesakitan yang dialami oleh Mr X semakin parah sehingga terpaksa dibawa ke hospital dengan bantuan rakan.

Alhamdulillah setelah ditahan di hospital selama 3 hari ,dengan kesakitan yang ditahan akhirnya ianya semakin pulih atas keizinanya serta ubat ubatan yang diberi dan juga rawatan fisioterapi yang konsistant. Para pembaca yang budiman apa yang saya cuba perjelaskan dalam situasi Mr x ini ialah kebarangkalian situasi yang sama ini pun boleh berlaku kepada kita tanpa kita sedar atau sedar.
Puncanya mudah hanya dengan memusingkan badan ,maka PID boleh muncul. Ini kerana tulang belakang kita boleh berada dalam keadaan yang paling tidak stabil ketika kita melakukan aktiviti memusing , ini kerana memusing badan ketika duduk meletakkan anda risiko mendapat sakit belakang yang amat tinggi dan juga merbahaya pada masa yang tertentu.
jika dilihat gambarajah ini

Mr X telah meletakkan dirinya ke bahagian yang paling berisiko untuk mendapat kecederaan pada bahagian belakang iaitu gambarajah yang paling hujung dimana tekanan pada tulang belakang pada waktu itu berada pada tahap maximum iaitu 275kg intradiscal pressure. Dengan ketinggian tekanan pada disc maka tidak hairan jika pelapik rawan tulang belakang ini boleh terkoyak atau tercedera jika berlaku impact yang maksima diruang abdomen seperti terbatuk atau terbesin. Apabila perkara ini berlaku ini bermakna anda berisiko mendapat masalah sakit belakang tanpa anda sedari , kerana kebanyakan individu beranggapan sakit belakang boleh terjadi jika mengangkat objek yang berat dan juga terjatuh. Tetapi dengan perkongsian ini ingin saya nyatakan bahawa sakit belakang ini kebanyakan beraku kepada kakitangan atau pekerja yang banyak duduk dan melakukan aktiviti dengan duduk seperti Pekerja Bank , kerani , Guru dan juga Pekerja Office.
Selain itu ingin saya kongsikan ketika berlakunya kesakitan belakang yang akut iaitu berlaku didalam tempoh 24 jam ,rawatan urutan bukan lah penyelesaian yang tepat ini kerana anda bayangkan jika anda ada luka di bahagian Jari , dan ianya masih berdarah adakah anda akan melakukan urutan dibahagian itu , semestinya tidak bukan , ini kerana kesakitan belakang yang akut mempunyai gejala inflamasi yang tinggi maka urutan tidak dibenarkan sama sekali.
Dalam Blog saya ini banyak info dan juga perkongsian tentang pencegahan , rawatan sakit belakang akut dan juga Kronik , serta tips tips yang anda boleh baca dan juga fahamkan , Di ruangan blog ini anda boleh mendapatkan ilmu ini untuk dikongsi dan juga sebagai persediaan jika menghadapi masalah ini. Wallahuaklam.

Causes of Rigid Neck After Waking Up 

Bismillahirahmanirahim , i have a one question that can give you a reason to understand regarding your neck ,Have you ever felt a stiff neck after waking up? It is usually characterized by pain and difficulty moving the neck, especially when you try to turn your head to the right or left side. Not infrequently can be accompanied by headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain or pain in the arm.

A person may experience a stiff neck when you wake up in the morning or after doing heavy activities. Rigid neck or pain when moved after awakening is also known as Stiff and tightness neck.

In many cases, the pain and stiffness of the neck can disappear naturally within a week. However, in rare cases, it may indicate the need for rapid medical evaluation. Therefore, you should be more vigilant and know early on what causes the stiff neck after waking and how to overcome it, so this does not happen repeatedly to you.

The Factors can Causes of Rigid Neck After Waking Up

You should pay attention to the shape and position of a good and comfortable pillow when sleeping, it is very important that you do not need to feel stiff neck and pain when waking up. In addition to comfort in sleep, the main function of the pillow is to maintain balance on your neck, in order to prevent problems such as awakening with a stiff neck. Use a pillow that is neither too thick nor fluffy nor too flat or deflated. Pillows that are too thick or fluffy can cause your neck to be too high and if it is too flat or deflated, the neck is in an uncomfortable position because it is too low. Ideally, use a pillow made of soft foam or cotton that can balance the position of your neck during sleep. No need to bother to measure how many corners, when you feel comfortable that's the right size for you. Especially for those who sleep on your side, make sure that your spine is not curved due to pillows that are too low or high.

2.Sleeping Position 
In addition to pillow problems, sleeping position also plays an important role. The wrong sleeping position can cause a stiff neck after waking up. To avoid this generally doctors suggest to sleep sideways (to the right or to the left) with a comfortable support. Sleeping on the back can also be an alternative. In addition to preventing neck stiffness, sideways sleep (especially the right side) has many health benefits such as keeping the stomach contents in a stable position, reducing the burden of the heart, resting the stomach, maintaining the health of the lungs and others. For Muslims, this has been recommended in the sunnah of Prophet Muhammad SAW.
