Perhaps the worst aspect of chronic pain is knowing you’ll have to deal with your pain day after day. Chronic pain has a way of interfering with even the most basic activities. Simple tasks such as getting out of bed, driving to work, sitting at your desk chair, or picking up your child can become challenging.The stress of going out of your way to complete everyday activities can also create frustration and feelings of isolation. Neck pain is especially hard to work around because the neck is such an integral part of your body. Pain in the neck and back will frequently begin to radiate the longer it hangs around, and that could mean shooting pain up your neck and back, all the way into the base of your skull. It is also common for neck pain to cause headaches, making it difficult to concentrate throughout the day. Fortunately, Kinetix PhysicalTherapy is equipped in treating your neck pain and headaches, so you can get back to living your life comfortably. What’s causing my neck pain? There are a large number of culprits that could be behind your neck pain. Some of the most common causes of neck pain are poor posture, accidents (such as a car accident or a slip-and-fall accident) or sports-related injuries.

One reason why neck pain can become so severe is because spasms in the neck muscles can reduce the circulation of blood through the area and contribute to headaches. Since the neck is connected to the spinal column and therefore connected to the nervous system, pain in the neck can quickly develop into tingling or numbness in the hands, arms, and fingers.This can be uncomfortable and frustrating when you are going about your daily tasks. When neck pain develops as a result of a pinched nerve, the radiating neck pain can result in severe headaches or migraine headaches. The pinched nerve can cause pain to radiate from the neck into the skull and into the arm, which can disrupt typical nerve patterns. Working with a physical therapist can help you address pain caused by a pinched nerve, and therefore can reduce the severity of headaches that develop as a result of neck pain.

PHYSICAL THERAPY FOR NECK PAIN

Working with a physical therapist is the best way to address neck pain. Your physical therapist will work with you to reduce the severity and frequency of your neck pain/headaches, in order to support the healthy operation of your neck. During physical therapy, your neck pain will be addressed holistically, taking into consideration the initial injury that may have caused the pain to develop. You and your physical therapist will also discuss any habits, movements, or compensations that may be contributing to the discomfort. Physical therapy takes advantage of specialized strategies, such as massage, stretching, and muscle training. This is all done to reduce your neck pain, and many of these strategies can also be adopted at home or on the go, in order to help you address your neck pain when it is bothering you the most. Adopting healthier habits can have a big impact on your management of neck pain. These include: • Practicing improved posture. • Wearing recommended footwear. • Using lumbar support in your desk chair or car. • Exercising regularly. • Engaging in regular stretching. One of the primary goals of physical therapy is to address overall wellbeing by encouraging improved health.This includes strength and range-of-motion training, improved flexibility, and muscle building. Your physical therapist may also encourage cardiovascular activities and weight loss, as needed. Overall, the best way to free yourself from neck pain is the prevent it from

occurring again. Your physical therapist can provide you with the resources you need to manage your pain and decrease the risk of it reoccurring. While your everyday tasks may seem simple, they can lead to increased stress on your body over time – and the neck and shoulders are some of the most common places to carry that stress. Your physical therapist can provide you with the proper techniques for completing these tasks so you can move through the day without pain. If your neck pain is limiting you, contact Kinetix Physical Therapy today. The longer you let neck pain linger and disrupt your life, the more difficult it becomes to treat. Schedule your consultation today and get started on the path toward finding relief from radiating neck pain and headaches.

SHRIMP FRIED RICE INGREDIENTS • 1½ cups water • 1 cup instant brown rice • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce • 4 tsp reduced-sodium soy sauce

• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten • 8 oz peeled & raw small shrimp

• 2 tbsp minced fresh ginger • 4 cups stringless snap peas • 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into ½-inch pieces • 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced • 4 scallions, chopped

• 2 tsp toasted sesame oil • 4 tsp canola oil, divided

DIRECTIONS Combine water and rice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the water is absorbed, 10-12 minutes. Spread the rice out on a large baking sheet to cool. Combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce and sesame oil in a small bowl; set aside. Heat 1 tsp canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add eggs and cook, stirring to help break into smaller pieces, until just set, about 45 seconds. Transfer the egg to a bowl. Add another 1 teaspoon canola oil to the skillet and return to medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink, 1 1 /2 to 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to the bowl. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in snap peas, bell pepper, carrots and scallions; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the rice and the reserved egg and shrimp; cook, stirring, until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and gently stir in the sauce mixture.
