What is Neck Pain and How to Cure It

Neck pain is a kind of mystery and there is not too much research to determine the real reason that causes it. One of the common misconceptions, for those suffering from chronic or traumatic neck pain, is the belief that the neck or vertebrae are not aligned properly. While we can be sure that something is wrong with the neck joints, that reason would be to simplify the problem. It is also common for people to experience anxiety when it comes to neck pain. It is true that neck and spine pains often do not have some serious reason to occur and are likely to subside over time, especially with the help of massage. ALWC Chiropractic Clinic will give you some tips on this.

What causes neck pain? It is estimated that about half of adults have neck pain each year. People regularly come to us for massage with the problem of chronic neck pain. Stiff neck, neck tension, back pain are symptoms that tend to occur together, so it is difficult to pinpoint exactly what is causing the pain. Even today, we cannot say with certainty whether these pains (when they appear) are caused by some physical or mechanical stimulus, or mentally such as stress, nervousness, anxiety. Also, some research has shown that a person’s physical and mental condition is significant in how intensely they will feel pain and how long the pain will last.

Some of the most common causes of neck pain:

• Sports or jerky neck injury
• Disc herniation
• Neurological stimulus

1. Massage around the spine can be very soothing as the muscles surrounding the cervical spine will relax and relieve the feeling of tension in the neck. Moreover, any touch or relaxing massage can be soothing for a sore neck. In most people, neck pain is chronic. Those suffering from these pains may feel anxiety and excessive activity of the sympathetic nervous system in response to the pain.

2. Although it is certain that, with a sore neck, it is effective to approach the massage of painful areas, in practice it has also been shown to be very effective to approach other areas. This is especially true of the lower back and general neck massage to pay attention to the entire spine. Since the whole body is interconnected, for full effect it is best to approach a full body massage. Thus the person will experience complete relaxation and the body will react by releasing the hormone of happiness and the hormone that reduces the feeling of pain.

3. Neck massage is not only a treatment to reduce neck pain, but can also be used as a prevention. There are studies that have shown that people who go for a massage regularly suffer much less from neck pain, even after car accidents. Research suggests that the intensity of concussion injuries relates more to a person’s general psychophysical health than to the very characteristics of the mechanical stimulus (traffic accidents or the like) that led to the injury.Find us on Google and OurBis.
