Zilaxo Advanced Pain Solution: Neck Pain - Treat It Before It Beats You!

It is the end of the month and Saurav is overwhelmed with work. On top of that he felt a nagging pain in his neck. The pain starts just below his head and stretches down to the shoulder blades. Saurav’s friend suggested that he should see a doctor soon. But Saurav just did not have the time to take a leave. His work is just too important. In spite of the pain, Saurav soldiered on heroically with his work. He felt superior to his colleagues given his indifference to the constant pain.

Sadly, this attitude is fairly common among many people. For them, neck pain is less important than getting work done. Since the problem doesn’t go away when ignored, such people usually face all kinds of complications later in life.

Why neck pain occurs?

Car accidents
Physical abuse (being punched or shaken)
Contact sports that involve tackling or physical contact
Cycling accidents
Falls, in which the head violently jerks backward
Blows to the head with a heavy object
Too much time in an awkward position
Sleeping in a position that strains the neck

Neck pain complications

Chronic neck pain can lead to Cervical Spondylosis.
The pain can interfere with the ability to focus on the tasks at hand.
Constant feeling of exhaustion.
Some people with neck pain experience headache and dizziness.

Managing neck pain

Take a warm shower. The heat helps bring nutrient-rich blood flow to the area to stimulate a healing response.
Avoid activities such as lifting and sports that make pain and stiffness worse.
Do stretching and strengthening exercises to keep your neck flexible and strong while preventing stiffness.
Gently massage or rub the area to relieve pain and encourage blood flow. A gentle massage will stimulate blood flow in the area, which helps it to heal.

Good habits for neck pain

Practise relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation at least thrice a week.
Do low impact aerobic exercises at least twice a week.
Stop smoking as the smoke slows down the healing process.

Can exercise help in neck pain?

Flexibility and stretching exercises can expand or preserve the range of motion and elasticity in affected joints, and thus relieve the stiffness that leads to pain. As a general rule, neck stretching is best done every day, and some stretches should be done several times a day.

Specific strengthening exercises will help maintain improved posture, which in turn will lessen or eliminate recurrent flare-ups of pain. As a general rule, neck strengthening exercises should be done every other day to allow muscles time to repair themselves.

Diet for neck pain

1. Omega-3 fatty acids: These acids, found in fish such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines, can actually lower inflammatory chemicals in your body.

2. Antioxidants and fibre: You should try to have five servings of vegetables every day, and two to four servings of fruit. These foods are high in fiber and anti-inflammatory antioxidants.

3. Calcium: Since neck pain can be caused by wear and tear of the vertebrae in your neck, it makes sense to keep your bones as healthy as possible, so calcium should be an important part of your nutrition plan.

4. Water: Not getting enough fluids into your body can be a cause of muscle pain.
