Neck Pain Is Hard To Live With

By Clayton Thom Munhall


Neck pain is something many people deal with. It can be very uncomfortable because it has been known to be painful as it causes pressure around the head and shoulders. If you have never dealt with this discomfort, you may now know how difficult it can be to live with. It is quite uncomfortable and those that live with must get the help they need to improve the discomfort. If they do not do this, their lives are miserable. It really can be that bad.

Since the head weighs about ten or twelve pounds, it must always stay back a few inches when walking, talking, typing on a computer keyboard and other activities. If one bends it forward a little bit, the neck will suffer. This is where the discomfort can start. Finding good posture is important so one does not get into this situation. If one has forward head posture of just a couple inches it can make the neck an upper back feel as though they are carrying about thirty pounds of weight on that area.

The United States has many chiropractors who can work the vertebrae of the cervical spine and neck area. This can be very helpful to overcoming the problem. Each vertebrae has a function that is needed for the body to move properly. Knowing about this is wise since people move their bodies each day. Traditional medicine does not always treat the patient like a whole person.

Mind, body, and spirit are part of natural man. Alternative health care doctors focus on these aspects. There are advantages and disadvantages to both alternative and traditional medicine.

One third of all Americans experience neck pain at various points in their life. Traditional medicine will usually administer prescription drugs versus a hands-on, physical approach to relieve the pain. Studies show fifty-seven percent of symptoms were relieved from the group that had manipulation of the spinal vertebrae . A medication group only improved thirty-three percent. The manipulation group also had longer-term benefits lasting about twelve weeks.

This type of healing helps people long and short-term. It has been known to do this. Seventy-five percent of symptoms were reduced. Many people who have lived in pain for so many years will feel a lot of relief which many take for granted. It is so different living free of discomfort than living with an abnormal condition.

Some other studies include one where one hundred and eighty three people were selected to engage in manipulation of their spines, exercise, and then general care with a doctor including counsel and medication. The group that did the manipulation got the most relief. Engaging in this form of healing has been noted to be the most beneficial among many people.

Having neck pain is very difficult to live with. It can almost be shocking to be free of it when you are so used to it. No one would want to live with discomfort like this. It is not pleasant so overcoming it as soon as possible would be the ultimate experience and goal.
