“Share Great Moments Without Fear Of Pain!” RELIEVING NECK PAIN Neck pain can be a constant ache or sharp pain with movement, stopping you fromenjoying life’sactivities.Neckpain isverycommonaffectingapproximately 2/3 rds of the population at one point or another. People with neck pain suffer mainly from one of the following conditions:
Degenerative Disc Disease The discs are the fluid filled sacs between the bones of your neck.The normal agingprocessshrinks thediscsanddries themout.Repeatedstressandstrain also weakens the tissues that make up a disc. When this happens, the disc loses its ability to absorb shock. In turn, this causes rubbing and changes in the shape of the joints in your neck, which can be painful. Muscle Strain When there is an injury to the neck or you overuse the shoulder 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 joints may become inflamed.The pain is usually chronic and is typically felt in the middle part of the neck. However, it may spread from the neck into the upper back or to the outside of the shoulder in some cases.
