3 Tips On Healing Neck Pain by bicon1: 10:08pm On Sep 27, 2017 |
NECK PAIN HEALTH AND FITNESS — Neck pain is most frequently the result of a muscle strain or sprain. Increasing your intake of magnesium, a mineral that aids in the contraction and relaxation of muscles, may help avoid these pain causing problems. Magnesium is commonly found in fruits, vegetables, beans, soy products, and whole grains. Read the nutrition labels on products to see how much of your daily recommended amount of magnesium they provide. Magnesium can be absorbed through the skin by taking a bath with Epsom salt, or a similar supplement. Some forum members have reported success with the use of magnesium oil, which is applied directly to the skin after a warm shower or bath. To prevent adverse reactions, you may want to consult with your physician before beginning use of any supplement or oil. Neck pain may also be joined by nagging headaches and numbness or tingling in the back of the head, neck, shoulders, and hands. Some forum members suggest putting ice on different areas of the body (such as between the thumb and index finger, on the bone behind the ear, on the indent between the middle of the eyebrow) to help achieve relief from such symptoms. Avoid neck pain from phone use with these tips: Use a Bluetooth or hands-free headset to make calls. When you're browsing or texting, hold the phone up high to decrease the angle at which you're holding your neck. Take frequent breaks to stretch your neck.

Get in the pool Many Forum members note the therapeutic effects that swimming has on their neck pain, specifically in reducing inflammation, providing quick pain relief, and easing neck stiffness. Interesting tips have included: Getting the water level up to the neck and simply moving around. Squatting until the water reaches the chin, then moving back and forth and to the right and to the left. Using a swimming pool that is quite warm. Finding a stroke that is gentle on your neck for swimming laps, or consult with a physical therapist or other health professional for recommendations. Depending on your swimming skill, you may be able to do “Texas 25s”—either crawl or breaststroke—which is swimming a length of the pool without taking a breath. If you can do this, then you can get a lot of aerobic exercise without twisting your neck at all. For some, swimming is too strenuous on the neck. In that case, water therapy, which is gentle exercise done in a warm swimming pool, is often a great alternative to land- based exercises. Source link http:www.adejass..com 1 Like
