RELIEVING NECK PAIN “Life Is Good Without Neck Pain!”
Neck pain can be a constant ache or sharp pain with movement, stopping you from enjoying life’s activities. Neck pain is very common affecting approximately 2/3 rds of the population at one point oranother.Peoplewithneckpainsuffermainlyfrom one of the following conditions: Degenerative Disc Disease.

In turn, this causes rubbing and changes in the shape of the joints in your neck, which can be painful. MuscleStrain. When there isan injury to theneckoryouoveruse theshoulder and neck muscles, a strain can occur. When this happens, the neck muscles may go into spasm to help support and protect the sore area. Mechanical Neck Pain. Mechanical pain usually starts from changes in the neck joints. As discs start to collapse, the space between the neck bones narrows,and the jointsmaybecome inflamed.Thepain isusuallychronicand is typically felt in the middle part of the neck. However, it may spread from theneck into theupperbackor to theoutsideof theshoulder insomecases. Radiculopathy. Pressure or irritation on or around the nerves of the neck can affect the nerves’ electrical signals.The pressure or irritation can be felt as numbness on the skin, weakness in the muscles or pain along the path
of the nerve. Weakness in the spine muscles can cause abnormal pressure on the nerves and increased chance of radiculopathy.

“Helped me recover from a dislocated shoulder!” “I was in a car accident in September 2016. A year later I was having difficulty with my neck. It was hard to turn my neck to see traffic when driving. I felt like the muscles were frozen. Now my neck is improved and I find that household tasks like carrying out the trash, doing laundry, and looking up in the top shelves of my cabinets are much better. Physical therapy has helped me recover from a dislocated shoulder, two knee operations, and whiplash from a car accident. The staff at ARI are exceptional and it’s great to know they are here to help when I have an injury. I give ARI five stars!” - Patricia K. Patient Success Spotlight

ARE YOU HURTING YOUR NECKWHILE YOU SLEEP? We spend one third of our lives sleeping. Therefore, how you sleep and the bed you sleep on can have a dramatic effect on the support of your body. When you sleep you need to be aware of how your neck and spine are supported. There are many different types of beds on the market today whichcanbeveryconfusing forconsumers.Thebest typeofbed is theone thatyou tryoutand feelmostcomfortableusing.Typically,abed that isfirm underneath, with a softer top helps to provide support as well as contour your body. If your mattress is old, then think about investing in a new one so that your neck and spine are supported well.
Thebestpositions tosleep in foryourspineareonyourbackorsides.Avoid sleepingonyourstomachsinceyourspineendsup twisted,especiallyyour neck.Over thehoursofrepetitivesleepingonyourstomach,youcandamage the joints of your spine and compress the nerves exiting your spine. Use a pillow to help support your body and take the weight of your legs off your spine. If you like to sleep on your back, place a pillow under the backs of your thighs and knees. This should place your knees in a slight, supported bend which takes pressure off your lower back. If you sleep on your side, be sure to put a pillow between your knees. This helps keep the alignment of your spine, and takes the pressure of your upper leg off the spine. Have 1-2 pillows under your head to keep your neck in proper alignment. If you need 2 pillows stagger them so that one pillow overlaps the other by one half. The lower half goes under the shoulders, while the upper half supports the neck. Our physical therapists at Advanced Rehabilitation, Inc can show you exercises, stretches and techniques to relieve your pain and prevent it from returning.
If you are suffering with neck or back pain, call us today to learn more about how we can relieve your pain, returning you to a more active, pain-free life!
