YOU CAN RELIEVE Neck Pain & Headaches Naturally!
The neck can be a hidden and debilitating source of headaches. Very often neck pain and headaches go hand in hand, leading to a miserable time coping with every day activities. According to the National InstituteofHealthStatistics,neckpainand headaches are the second most common form of pain, experienced by Americans, with 59% reporting it affected their enjoyment of life. Headaches are often grouped under the term “cervicogenic headache” meaning that the primary source of the headache is from the neck. There are well mapped out patterns of headaches that come from the different parts of the neck, shoulder and upper back areas. In addition the discs between your bones (vertebrae) and joints in the upper neck often contribute to headaches. Even headaches located in the forehead or behind the eyes are often referred pains stemming from problem areas in the neck and base of the skull. The joints connecting the top three levels of the neck handle almost 50% of the total motion of the entire neck.This means they absorb a lot of repetitive strain. These joints bear the main load of the weight of the head (about that of a bowling ball).
With fatigue, poor posture, injuries, disc problems, arthritis, muscular stress and even prior surgeries, the wear and tear on this critical region of your body can prove too much, resulting in pain. It is also possible that you may develop a narrowing of the spinal canal itself.
