Most
Common Neck Pains...
My Safe
and Simple Escape
Before
talking about neck pains
let's remember its anatom y.
As you know, the
neck is located between the head and the
shoulders. Because of its location and range of motion, it is often
left
unprotected and subject to injury.
Neck pains may result from different causes
- between
injury and inflammatory disease:
- injury
(damage to the muscles, tendons, and/or
ligaments);
- herniated
cervical disk;
- arthritis
(i.e., osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis);
- congenital
abnormalities of the vertebrae and bones;
- tumors.
Most
common neck problems
There are many conditions that may cause your neck pains. That’s why
it’s best to consult your doctor before taking some
treatments.
Whiplash
is
a
range
of neck injuries caused by a sudden distortion of the neck. It may
happen
anywhere:
- during
car accidents or rides at an amusement park;
- falls
from bicycles or horses;
- impulsive
stretching of the spine during golfing or
disk throwing;
- sports
injuries such as skiing accidents; and
- what
not.
Torticollis (Wryneck), twisting of the
neck that causes the head to rotate and tilt at an odd angle. It may be
caused
by:
- irritation
to cervical nerves, which results in spasm of the neck muscles;
- vigorous
movement or injury sleeping in an awkward position;
- anxiety;
- neck
muscle injury at birth;
- burn
injury; and
- any
injury
that causes heavy scarring and skin shrinkage
Besides Torticollis
may also be a secondary condition resulting from:
- slipped
facette (two small joints on the side of the spine);
- herniated
disc; or
- viral
or
bacterial infection.
What
are
the symptoms of torticollis?
Each of you experience symptoms differently.
They may include:
- neck
muscle pain or pain down the spine;
- inability
to turn the head, usually holding it twisted to one side;
- spasm
of the neck muscles; or
- awkward
position of the chin during sleep.
The
symptoms of torticollis may resemble other conditions and medical
problems.
That's why consulting your physician for a diagnosis is a MUST.

Shoulder, and Pelvis
Disorders Online Resources page".
Improper functioning of your circulatory
system. The system is vitally important for your wellbeing as
it…
- delivers
oxygen
and nutrients to all your cells;
- removes
carbon
dioxide and waste products;
- maintains
optimum
pH, and the mobility of the elements, proteins and cells of the immune
system.
Statistics shows that myocardial infarction and
stroke,
the two leading causes of death, may directly result from a slow
gradual damage
of an arterial system.
It
depends…
I
used to have neck pains
and I still do, during a day,as well, when…
- I
have to
work long hours before the computer;
- When
I
drive a car and open the window;
- When
my
head “gets stuck” quite unexpectedly.
As usual,
I didn’t go to doctor and tried different ointments and mixtures; had
it
massaged. Unfortunately, nothing worked until one day my friend let me
try a magnetic
neck support, the best neck
pain relief as I
felt much better in about 15 minute’s time.
Nightly neck ache
Another problem
was aching in the lower part of my head. I understood it had something
to do
with my pillow and wrong alignment during the night sleep.
Expets say the right pain
pillow should support your neck, a vitally important organ
of our
body. It keeps up the weight of your head and protects the nerves
carrying
sensory and motor information from the brain down to the rest of the
body. I
believed the author and bought the best one.
As soon as I started sleeping on
it, my neck pains disappeared. I consider the foam pillow with a
special
contour my Savior. In fact, the easiest
relief I could ever think.
