Fed up of the nagging neck pain that prevents you from
living your normal life? Well, it’s time to take some action and nip it in the
bud.
During our treatments, we have found that many people of
different age groups suffer from neck pain. Sometimes it radiates to the head
and shoulders. Sometimes it is acute and at other times, chronic. Depending on
your age, profession and lifestyle details, a therapist can tell a lot about
the cause of your neck pain.
Mental stress,
wrong posture, cervical spondylosis or spasm of the neck muscles due to heavy
weight lifting etc. are some of the causes that make the neck muscles tight,
inelastic and painful. If left untreated for a long time, the condition can
worsen and become chronic.
What is the Solution
to the Neck Pain?
Massage Therapy:
The muscles that are always tight need to be gently reminded on how to relax.
Massage therapy can help in gently moulding, stretching and heating the
muscles, slowly training them to let go. There are some specific techniques
that therapists use, such as pressure points, shiatsu, soft kneading, etc.
which can even bring about immediate pain relief.
Reflexology and Sujok
Therapy: These two therapies are known not only for pain relief but also
for helping to cure a range of conditions. Reflexology is done on the feet
using the concepts of acupressure and meridian theory while sujok is a similar
therapy done with tools, seeds, magnets and colours on the palms of the hands.
They can target specific regions for pain relief, better functioning of the
body and relaxation.
Yoga: The ancient
science of yoga was created for maintaining the health of the spine. With its
gentle stretches, bends and moves clubbed with breathing, yoga not only loosens
up your muscles but also helps to correct your posture, de-stress and gain
balanced mental and physical health.

Home Care: Now
this one is in your hands. A therapist can greatly help you but if you can make
a few additional changes personally, you are sure to keep suffering at bay. So,
firstly, be aware of your posture and correct it. Secondly, take some time out
to do something you enjoy to de-stress. Thirdly, use alternate hot and cold
compress on the painful areas. (Avoid hot compress if the area is swollen or
red).
