What is the Cause of My Neck Pain?
The most common cause of neck pain is a misalignment of the cervical spine resulting in stress on the nerves and surrounding soft tissues. Rather than risk your health and be in pain longer than necessary, it’s best that you learn to recognize the signs that your neck should be looked at by a licensed and experienced specialist here at Almaden Family Chiropractic.
Neck Pain relief
There are a few things you can do on your own to see if your pain can be managed by more conventional means that don’t require the intervention of a chiropractor. Apply an ice pack to the part of your neck that’s giving you the most trouble. For the best results, hold the pack to your neck for 20 minutes before leaving it off for at least 40 minutes, alternating back and forth for the best results.
Make Sure You Have a Good Pillow
It’s best that you support your head with a firm or extra-firm pillow rather than a soft or flat pillow. Flat pillows only bend your neck into angles and positions likely to cause you pain. While you might be able to sleep with a poor pillow, you’re sure to have a stiff and sore neck in the morning.
Exercise Your Neck
Taking out some time to exercise your neck may be just what you need to get rid of the kinks. Raise your arms and bend them at 90-degree angles before relaxing your shoulder muscles and tightening the muscles between your shoulder blades. You can also turn your head from left to right until your nose is positioned just over your shoulder. Another effective exercise is to tilt your head back until your chin is pointed at the ceiling, only going back as far as is comfortable. Perform these exercises before going to bed and when you wake up.
