INSIDE: Neck Pain 101
Your Life Can Be Free Of Neck Pain Your Solutions Are Clear
Head and neck pain is not the type of pain that you can push through and deal with for too long. For one thing, chronic pain in the head or neck is often associated with some sort of chronic health concern — one that you need to deal with, not ignore. Secondly, when you are dealing with constant pain in your head or neck, it becomes difficult toconcentrate.Thiscanhaveanegative effect on your personal relationships, your career and more. The most common cause of neck or head pain is a muscle or joint problem. Working with a physical therapist can help you to identify the cause of the trouble and begin taking steps to correct the issue, allowing you to find relief from the pain without having to commit to long-termpainmanagement — which often includes the use of pain medications thatarepotentiallyharmful to your health and not likely to work as well over time. Unlike pain medications thatbecome lesshelpful the longer they areused,physicaltherapyprovides long- term relief from pain by correcting the joint or muscle concern with targeted therapies like flexibility exercises, muscle strengthening techniques, and guided stretches that target core joints and muscles. Of course, not all neck or headpain is thesame,sounderstanding the basics of what you are dealing with is the first step to achieving relief.

Head Pain 101. There are a lot of different types of headaches that you may experience, and each can be caused by its own different reason. For example, migraines can be caused by environmental factors, food allergies or even as a result of stress. There are headaches that can develop due to sinus pain and headaches that will developwhenyouaredehydrated.There are also headaches that will develop when you are exposed too long to loud noises.There is no singular fix for each of these different types of headaches, which is why attempting to treat every headacheyouexperiencewith thesame medication frequently doesn’t work. One of the most common causes of headaches that areeasily treatablewith physical therapy is radiatingheadaches, which are caused by stress in the joints and muscles of the neck. This causes pain to radiate from the top of the neck into the head, especially surrounding the ears. There are a lot of reasons why radiating headaches could develop, including as a result of lack of movement and stiffness in the neck. This buildup of irritation can be treated with regular physical therapy, especially through the use of massage and flexibility exercises that target the muscles in the neck.

This pain is generally worse when there are sudden changes in weather or at the end of the day, and while over-the-counter medication may make the pain less severe, it won’t eliminate the pain entirely.
