Prevention of the problem

Neck pain can be prevented easily by inculcating a few habits:

1. Avoid stressing the neck: Avoid spending time in positions that may put pressure on the neck. For example, looking at the mobile phone or working on a computer for a long period.

2. Use the right pillow: Sleep on a pillow that is not too high. This helps to place the neck in a healthy position and avoid neck pain.

3. Sleep in a proper position: Do not sleep on your abdomen as it twists or bends the neck position while sleeping and puts pressure on the neck muscles.

4. Refrain from carrying heavy weights: Carrying heavy bags with shoulder straps may strain the neck and cause pain.

Ways to combat Neck Pain

1. Isometric neck-strengthening exercise: Perform isometric exercises to strengthen neck muscles and soothe the pain. Isometric exercises are to be done in a static posture, as there is no movement or change in muscle length.

2. Massage: A gentle massage or a rub around the painful area can alleviate the pain and improve the flow of blood. However, avoid massage if the area is injured.

3. Stay away from strenuous activities: Avoid rigorous physical activities like weight lifting or manual labor until the condition recovers completely. Such actions can worsen the pain and stiffness in the neck area.

Essential Things To Know About Sciatica

Do you feel a sharp, tingling pain that starts from the back or buttock and gradually moves down your leg or foot? The probable chance is that you are suffering from Sciatica. It occurs when the sciatic nerve gets irritated, resulting in pain, numbness & inflammation over the affected leg.

Symptoms of Sciatica

1. Radiating pain in mostly one side of the leg or buttock

2. Burning or tingling sensation

3. Feeling of numbness in the back and along the leg  

Leading reasons of Sciatica

1. Herniated Disc: This condition occurs when a disc in the spine gets herniated or bulged resulting in pressurising of the sciatic nerve.

2. Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: The disorder happens when pressure is put on the spinal nerves in the lower back.   

3. Spondylolisthesis: This takes place when one vertebra slides forward over the other. It generally affects the lower region of the spine.

4. Accident or injury: Strong impact of any sports injury or motorcar accident can damage the nerve roots of the spinal region, leading to Sciatica.

5. Spinal Tumour: Sometimes there can be an unusual growth of spinal tumour in the lumbar region, increasing the risk of Sciatica.

Dos and Don’ts of Sciatica

1. Maintain right posture: Always maintain a correct posture while walking, sitting or standing. It keeps the spine in a proper position and reduces the chances of back pain and Sciatica.

2. Cut down excess weight: Being overweight puts extra pressure on the spine and the sciatic nerve. Reduce weight by exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy diet.

3. Refrain from using high-heeled footwear: Using high-heeled shoes on a regular basis pressurises the thighs, as well as strains the hamstrings and sciatic nerve.

4. Abstain from lifting heavy objects: Lifting heavy objects can strain the back and injure the sciatic nerve. Hence, it is advisable to avoid carrying heavy load.

5. Avoid wearing tight clothes: Wearing tight apparels can cut off the circulation of blood, block free movement of the body as well as trigger Sciatica.
