Advice is something that we should often seek out once we have a problem. It can come in many different varities. Some learn best with reading, others are visual, and some have to have a full experience to understand with reading, seeing it, and touching it. What matters is that the advice is learned and then applied to solve whatever the problem is.
Neck pain is something that many people experience through their lifetime. It is quite common and is often caused by a car accident or some other trauma that causes injury to the ligaments and discs. It can also be cause by poor posture and when the cervical curve is reduced or reversed the mechanics of the spine and head are not correct and cause a big problem. Sitting is when neck pain can flare up quite a bit, and many people have jobs where they sit for most of the day.
To relieve neck pain after sitting you will want to find out first what is causing the pain. If there is something such as a herniated disc or ligament damage from a car accident then that will require a treatment plan such as non-surgical spinal decompression in Los Angeles. If the pain is coming from poor posture then exercises could bring relief. When you sit for a long period of time, say for an hour or more, your head can start to move forward and in front of your shoulders. Your shoulders can become rounded. The typical head weighs about ten pounds or more so gravity is obviously going to pull it down. What happens is the posterior neck muscles and trapezius muscles get fatigued from constantly trying to keep the head in it’s proper position. To help relieve this there is an exercise that can help. It is done by tucking your chin in towards your chest and pushing your shoulders back and holding that position for ten seconds. Then rest for ten, and complete for ten repetitions. Do this about every half hour through the day and your neck pain can be less through the day and when you arrive home you can enjoy your time with your family and friends rather than dealing with nagging neck pain. This of course should be reviewed with your back pain doctor so that the two of you can work together to manage the pain or fix it completely with a treatment such as cervical spinal decompression therapy.
