How Is Stress Connected To Neck Pain?

You are probably already familiar with emotional stress causing a headache. Such kind of a headache is called a “tension headache”. Stress also affects the muscles in your neck. As you tense up, the tightness in your neck muscles can contribute to neck pain. Chronic neck pain can also lead to increased irritability, fatigue, and even depression. This can put a lot of stress to your already hectic life. Stress and pain can trap you in a vicious circle.

While stress is not the cause of neck pain, it can certainly worsen the symptoms of underlying neck pain. Stress can influence how people experience pain. If you are under stress, pain can actually feel worse. As stress goes up, doctors report an increase in neck pain patients.

How to relieve neck pain?

1. Physical activity increases blood flow to your neck muscles. Neck exercises are a great way to relieve tension and an important part of the treatment for neck pain.

2. Techniques that can help reduce stress include deep breathing, yoga, and meditation.

3. Massage is a great way to relieve stress and neck pain because it gets blood to flow into your aching muscles. You may want to add heat or cold therapy to relieve tension and pain.

4. Talk to someone about your stress. Develop a support system that you can take help from, in times of great agitation. Sharing your problems with others can help reduce stress.

5. Psychosocial disorders are problems caused by negative life experiences. They are closely associated with neck pain. A recent study looked at 448 patients with neck pain and found that those patients with depression and anxiety tended to experience the highest levels of neck pain. If you're struggling with stress, anxiety, or depression, it may be necessary to consider professional counselling to treat the underlying problem.

6. You should develop healthy habits to help reduce stress. Remember to eat a healthy diet. Avoid coffee and caffeinated beverages since they can make you feel more agitated and interfere with sleep. Stay away from cigarettes. Smoking slows down the healing process because it decreases the blood supply to the muscles in your neck.
