NECK PAIN OR HEADACHES?

SUBOCCIPITAL MUSCLES & OAA-COMPLEX

[ANATOMY & FUNCTION]

There are 4 muscles involved in the suboccipital region also called 'Upper Cervical Spine' or OAA-Complex:

1️⃣Rectus capitis posterior major (axis to head)

2️⃣Rectus capitis posterior minor (atlas to occiput)

3️⃣Obliquus capitis superior (atlas to head)

4️⃣Obliquus capitis inferior (axis to atlas)

These muscles are deeper than all other muscles in the back of the neck and they are very strongly connected to our eyes to give the feedback to the larger neck muscles as to where the head is positioned!

The purpose of these muscles is to provide fine motor function in movements of the head. Beyond their ability to concentrically contract and move their attachments, isometrically contract and stabilize their attachments, they have a heavy concentration of proprioceptors, and are therefore important toward balance and equilibrium of the head. The actions of trapezius, sternocleidomastoid and other larger muscles that move the head are refined by the relatively small suboccipital muscles.

As the neck starts to flex in the lower cervical, our eyes always want to look forward, the head and upper cervical spine starts to extend, the suboccipitals shorten and hold the back of the skull to the top two vertebrae (Atlas and Axis) and lock it in place. These muscles are also a common area to develop trigger points that can cause terrible headaches.

Approximately 50% of the neck rotation should come from the first two vertebrae. The rest of the cervical spine splits the other 50%, gradually rotating less and less as you progress from C3 to C7.

The suboccipital area is very prone to get stiff and immobile, when the upper cervical spine can't rotate properly, that motion get picked up by the lower cervical spine, which we want to be actually more stable!

Releasing some of this tissue can directly affect and relieve your headaches or neck pain without the use of any medicine!

UBI KAYU tak naikkan GULA DARAH?

Kajian yang disiarkan dalam jurnal ‘The Lancet’ menunjukkan tiada seorang pun daripada 1,381 peserta yang mengambil ubi kayu setiap hari mengidap diabetis.

Ubi kayu adalah sumber yang kaya kanji rintang (9.7 g/100g).

Kanji rintang bertindak seperti fiber.

Tepung ubi juga tinggi kanji rintang (0.56 to 1.1%)

Pengambilan kanji ini bagus untuk kesihatan usus, tidak meningkatkan paras gula dalam darah dan menjadikan seseorang itu kurang risiko obesiti.

Tetapi, ubi kayu mengandungi bahan linamarin

Usus besar manusia akan tukarkan bahan linamarin kepada cynide, sejenis gas beracun.

Pendedahan cynide yang tinggi boleh menyebabkan beguk dan masalah saraf.

Kajian oleh UPM yang mendapati linamarin mempunyai sifat antikanser, tetapi kesan negatif bahan ini ke atas haiwan atau manusia masih belum dikaji lagi.

Cara yang paling baik untuk kurangkan kesan toksik bahan linamarin adalah dengan cara memarut ubi kayu. Ini kerana bahan linamarin akan ditukarkan kepada cynide dan akan hilang di udara pada suhu bilik

Justeru, makanlah ubi kayu mengikut cara yg betul dan ikut kadarnya.

SPINAL CORD ⚡️

Our spinal cord is a long, delicate, tube-like structure that begins at the end of the brain stem and extends almost to the end of the spine.

The spinal cord provides a conduction and reflex apparatus between the brain and the peripheral nervous system. It conducts information to and from the brain. It also receives afferent information from the skin and muscles and sends motor commands to the muscles (effector).

Much like the brain is protected by the bones of the skull, the vertebrae protect the spinal cord. However, injury and damage can compress the spinal cord, causing back or neck pain, tingling, muscle weakness or other symptoms.
