Let’s talk more about neck pain treatment and what you can do for neck pain relief.

Causes of Neck Pain

Your neck, which can also be referred to as your cervical spine, can become painful or sore for many reasons.

Reasons For General Neck Pain:

• Muscle strains or tension
• Physical strains from strenuous activities or movements
• Sleeping in an awkward position
• Activities that can strain the neck, such as slouching or sleeping with your neck twisted
• Persistent and ongoing stress, including mental stress and tightening of the neck muscles resulting from built up tension
• Repetitive movements
• Worn joints
• Poor posture

These types of common reasons for neck pain are not suitable for non surgical spinal decompression treatments.

More Serious Reasons & Conditions Causing Neck Pain:

• Ageing
• Degenerative conditions
• Diseases
• Injuries or traumas from sudden forced movements

NSSC are experienced in providing chronic neck pain relief treatments through an alternative treatment to surgery.

The treatments focus on taking pressure off discs and joints through gentle and targeted stretching of the spine, which assists with reducing pain and increasing mobility.

How To Prevent General Neck Pain

There are everyday things you can do to help stay ahead of neck pain – you don’t have to immediately revert to medication.

Here are some handy tips to assist with your neck pain relief:

• Opt for a more supportive pillow and try to sleep in a good position, not with your neck twisted.
• Be aware of your posture when you’re sitting and standing. Also ensure not to hunch over when sitting.
• Quit smoking as it can hinder the body’s natural healing process.
• When carrying a bag, avoid carrying the bag with only one shoulder – opt for a backpack style bag that help distribute the weight of the bag evenly on your back.
• When sitting or standing in one position for a long time, take regular breaks and stretch your muscles and consider taking a short walk around the block or up the street.
• Consider the use of heat or ice packs depending on the type of neck pain.
• Stop exercising and rest for a few days.
