After a detailed discussion with some of the best spinal health specialists here we go again with top 7 ways to heal a severe neck pain. Basically in the neck area there is a huge coordination of nerves, bones, joints, and different types of muscles directed by the brain and the spinal cord. The main function of this area is to maintain strength and stability among all the nerves. Usually there are so many reasons that cause pain in the neck. There could also be a stiff pain in shoulders, head as well as arms when there is an irritation along the nerve pathways. This is even worst situation and you won’t be able to feel yourself comfortable at all.
Most of the times neck pain will go away in just couple of days or sometimes it took few weeks to be completely got rid of. But just in case, it is still there for over a month or so this is dangerous and you will probably need to visit a physiotherapist as soon as possible. So let’s discuss these unique techniques in order to manage this chronic neck pain. You need to keep a very important point in mind that before you start any kind of therapy, you should always talk to your physiotherapist first.
Keep yourself Hydrated
Water is always important element for discs between vertebrae in your spine in order to maintain discs height and alignment of spinal just to release some pressure from spine. It has been observed that when a new baby is born each individual spinal disc consist of 80% of water. Then as we grow along this ratio may decrease and the actual disc may deteriorate as well. So we really need to build some strong hydration habits on daily bases. This is what that can help these discs to maintain its health for a longer period of time and ultimately we can reduce the severe neck pain.
Reduce the use of cell phone
Sometimes you are not even aware of the fact that you are actually exasperating your neck by cradling your mobile phone into your neck while you are driving and talking at the same time. This may put some unnecessary stress on your cervical spine. On top of that some people are using their cell phone texting all the time while looking down on the cell phone’s screen which may also the main reason of severe neck pain. So in order to avoid such habits one has to use Bluetooth or hands-free for making calls. And on the other hand if you are texting for a longer period of time you really need to hold your cell phone high up in order to decrease the angle at which your neck is. Another important trick not to stress your neck while using your phone could be frequent breaks.
