Neck Pain
Feeling discomfort in neck is very common among people, especially for people who are on a computer all day long, or doing overhead works. Thus, over time carrying tension on neck and shoulder muscles due to tensing up the neck muscles all the time can cause soreness and discomfort without having any accident or trauma.
You might not be able even rotate your neck or barely move it sideways and due to absence of any injuries you might not be able to figure out where and how this discomfort came to you. Is this from injury? Stress? Trauma? Or misalignment? Sometimes negligible injuries in accident can yield to whiplash injury and if the neck injury from accident is not getting properly treated, it might cause several years of having pain, or even it might go away for years but reoccur after that.
There are numerous possibilities for having neck pain. There might be another injury for other parts in your body, which have never had a chance to heal properly, so as a compensation your shoulder or neck had to coordinate differently to take care of it. In that case you also might feel your neck hurts instead. On of the not recommended ways to get rid of pain is taking painkillers. Along with the adverse effects of the medicine, it is not permanent cure for your neck pain either. Your pain will come back as soon as the effect of your painkiller is gone.
Now there is a recommended way to get rid of your pain permanently. Hands on approaches like osteopathic manipulation can help to relive of your pain with exactly finding the cause of your condition and working on the neck muscles, joints, bones, ligament, nerves, fascia, and other related soft tissues. Recommending more exercises at home also can be beneficial as well.
