“Reach Out For Pain Relief Goals!” LIFE A PAIN IN THE NECK?

Having frequent headaches and neck pain can literally be a pain in the neck, make you unhappy and less productive in life. Why do you have that pain in your neck? Often, it is caused by amuscle or joint problem. Poor posture in the upper neck area contributes to headaches, migraines and neck pain. When you look in themirror do you notice that you have a forward head posture or does your head look a little shifted off to the side, not in alignment with your neck? This is a sign of underlying joint or muscle problems. Where Radiating Headaches Come From Different problems with the neck cause pain to be felt in different areas. For example, did you know that if the pain radiates to your forehead or behind the eyes, this can be from stiff joints at the top of your neck? In addition, poor joint movement in the neck causes stresses and strains on surrounding muscles causing frequent aches and pains.

WHY DO YOU HAVE NECK PAIN?

Finding the Root of the Problem To narrow the source of the problem, it is important to find out if your pain worsens towards the end of the day or is first thing in themorning. Pain at the end of the day and a complaint of a “heavy head” feeling is an indicator of spinal muscle weakness and instability. The neck and shoulder muscles just can’t tolerate the weight of the head (about the weight of a bowling ball) with daily activities, tiring quickly and causing pain towards the end of the day. Neck pain in the morning that radiates to the shoulders or down the arms can be associated with the disc problems between your neck bones (vertebrae). Therefore, what is the best course of action? The best solution if you have
