Recently, in Changsha, Hunan Province, Mr. Zhang, a 26-year-old programmer, suddenly had a severe headache after receiving a neck massage in a health club, and the left side of his body could not move the next day, and he was urgently sent to the hospital to be diagnosed with "cerebral infarction secondary to carotid artery dissection".

The doctor said that the patient came relatively late and missed the time window for thrombolysis, and violent massage may lead to avulsion of blood vessels in the neck, which further leads to cerebral infarction, and the patient's recovery is not bad.

The doctor reminds that to carry out neck massage healthily, the first thing is to avoid violent massage, choose a formal institution, inform the masseur to avoid the carotid artery area (anterolateral side of the neck), and avoid pursuing joint reduction with a "click" sound.

According to the woman's description, the results of her X-ray showed that she had formed a thrombosis in the lumen of her right carotid artery, which flowed down her blood vessels to her right brain and then compressed the nerve in her arm. "If it had been a few hours late, I might have been paralyzed." ”

Massage leads to frequent cerebral infarctions, and many netizens said that they must choose a qualified massage place.

Why does massage cause cerebral infarction?

According to the Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University, cerebral infarction (cerebral infarction) is a disease caused by the interruption of blood supply to the brain, resulting in ischemia and hypoxic necrosis of local brain tissue, which in turn leads to neurological dysfunction. The main cause of cerebral infarction caused by massage is that massage causes the right carotid artery thrombus to break off, resulting in large-scale cerebral infarction. It manifests as sudden onset of facial or limb numbness and weakness, especially in one limb; scrooked mouth and eyes, slurred speech, or difficulty understanding; Sudden loss of vision or visual field defects; Unsteadiness in walking, dizziness, or loss of balance.

Blind massage is harmful

It is better not to massage these types of people

Patients with hypertension/arteriosclerosis: Neck compressions may cause plaque in the blood vessel wall to fall off, causing myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction.

Patients with cervical spondylosis: particularly if the patient has cervical myelopathy, segmental instability of the cervical spine, or concomitant developmental cervical spinal stenosis.

Osteoporosis: Cervical spine fracture can be caused by a slight external force, especially in the elderly.

Pregnant women: Neck point stimulation may induce uterine contractions and increase the risk of miscarriage or preterm birth.

Tumors or infections: Massage may accelerate the metastasis of cancer cells or the spread of inflammation.

Massage of these areas

Don't do it randomly

In addition to the specific population listed above, there are also some body parts and massage techniques that are also at risk for healthy people.

Neck massage. Because in addition to the risks of people with specific diseases, neck massage also has hidden risks for healthy people in some locations, such as the carotid sinus, which is located at the center of the neck and is three finger widths apart, which is extremely sensitive. Any improper stimulation by external forces can lead to serious consequences, ranging from fainting to cardiac arrest.

Breast massage. First of all, breast massage oils offered by many beauty facilities contain estrogen, an additional hormone intake that may increase the risk of breast cancer. If early-stage breast cancer is already present, this massage may also stimulate tumor growth and accelerate the progression of the disease into the middle and advanced stages. Secondly, the lump in early breast cancer may be very small or even non-existent, and if the tumor is already present at the time of massage, improper manipulation may promote its metastasis.

Overall, massage as a method of relaxation does bring quite a few benefits. However, before enjoying this relaxation, understanding your physical condition, scientifically evaluating the cause, and choosing formal medical intervention are the fundamental ways to relieve pain.

What should I do if I have a cerebral infarction?

Once cerebral infarction occurs, it is difficult to completely restore to the original functional state through clinical treatment alone, so cerebrovascular diseases are always more preventive than cure, so how to prevent them?

1. Change your bad lifestyle, try not to stay up late, ensure adequate sleep, and live a regular life to improve immunity.

2. Adjust the dietary structure, eat more vegetables, fruits and cereals, refuse junk food, and it is best to quit smoking and drinking.

3. Control weight, exercise appropriately, maintain a comfortable mood, and avoid excessive mood swings.

4. Pay attention to health examination, once high blood pressure is found, you should follow the doctor's instructions to take medicine regularly and improve your living habits, and you should also monitor blood pressure changes for a long time, and if you feel unwell, you must go to the hospital in time.

If the disease has occurred and there is residual dysfunction, then after the condition is stabilized, rehabilitation training should be carried out as soon as possible, because the earlier the cerebral infarction rehabilitation intervention, the better the effect, so as not to miss the best golden recovery period.
