Neck pain is commonly experienced
by people with less physical jobs—like office work. Because the neck is almost
static, the nerves and muscle groups along the neck are prone to contraction
and tension. Tensions cause neck pains. There are various methods done to ease
neck pain. A simple massage may resolve the muscle pain. Some opt to try
medications or pain relievers. The neck
pain then affects the temples causing headaches. Headache, being the most experienced
physical issue every day, may occur as a migraine, throbbing pain, or severe
pain causing nausea. Headache is usually alleviated with a simple head massage
or hot compress. The massage and hot compress relaxes the muscles and nerves
allowing proper blood flow from the neck to the head.
Severe headache and neck pain can
be caused by extreme muscle contraction or stress at the neck bone or back
bone. Spinal misalignment usually causes neck muscle contraction and nerve
tension. Headache and neck pain caused by spinal misalignment or severe neck
tension will not be alleviated by simple massage or hot compress. You might
also need to overdose on pain reliever to suppress the pain. Usually, a
chiropractor is needed to release internal stress and pressure at your
vertebrae.
A chiropractor is an expert who
specializes in alleviating headaches due to vertebral issue. The chiropractor
will examine your case and would recommend various ways to alleviate the pain.
First, the chiropractor has to do an x-ray and a diagnosis to identify what is
causing the neck pain. Once identified, the chiropractor might recommend you to
have a bed rest, at least. If you have a severe condition, the chiropractor
might recommend further examination and may require you to have spinal
manipulation. Proper diet and nutritional volume should also be improved. Neck
pain and headaches are usually due to compression disabling blood to properly
travel from the neck to the head. Increase of vitamin B complex and iron the
body will help in improving the quality and the mobility of the blood. There
are also exercises that will be recommended by your chiropractor. Ergonomics,
proper posture, relaxation techniques help improve spinal condition and,
eventually, alleviate pain.
After all the procedures and
exercises done to your vertebrae, the headache and neck pain might be
alleviated but you should still continually visit your chiropractor. The
chiropractor will help you monitor the condition of your spine to ensure that the
correction process is going to the right path. Regularly consulting your
chiropractor will prevent spinal issues to recur. Lastly, regular consultation
with a chiropractor ensures proper diagnosis to neck pain and headache.
