Neck Pain, can be a real Headache.
We have all had to deal with that horrible feeling, the headache, that suddenly seems to just appear out of nowhere, always at a time when we are most stressed when we are at our busiest at work , always at a time when we can least afford to take anytime off.
Tension or stress headaches , that horrible feeling of dull pain, that tightness, pressure
felt around the forehead , it can feel like a great clamp squeezing the skull.
We do normally get a warning sign though, you know, that time when we start to feel tension/ stifness in the shouders and neck muscles, but most of us seem for some reason seem to ignore these signs and carry on regardless, hoping it will somehow just go away, but it doesn't go away it even gets worse and over a period of time, suddenly out of nowhere it strikes, always at a time when we really do not need it we have to deal with a major headache.
Sometimes the pain gets so bad, it can hurt our eyes, that pain felt in the eyes can make everyday tasks such looking at a computer screen, laptop even driving a car simply impossible to do. That pain can even be felt in the base of the skull going into the jaw bone.
It can get so bad, that chewing of food, talking can also become really uncomfortable, to do.
While medication can reduce some of the pain and discomfort, it may only be temporary.
The root cause of the issue has got to be dealt with, that is tension and stress in the muscles of the shoulders, neck and upper back , has to be removed.
Massage therapy is the most effective treatment when used to reduce muscle tension.
I love to use Orthopedic massage, to help reduce muscle tension and stress in the neck, shoulders and head.
It is a specialised therapy, that can take at least one hour to complete, it is never a quick fix, as all of the different muscle groups have got to be worked on, reducing stress, tension in the muscles and bringing back muscle lenght to the shortened muscles . The session is always completed with gentle stretching of the neck and shoulders.
In some extreme cases, the muscles of the face will have to be worked on.
All of the work is done pain free, as the best results are always achieved when working with relaxed muscles.
I always love working the neck, upper back and shoulers using this therapy as results can be seen almost immediatley, with an increased range of movement of the neck and a great reduction in pain when doing so.
So the good news is there is always help out there, you don't have to continue sufferig with headaches, don't ignore the warning signs.
Massage therapy will help to reduce tension and stress in the neck, shoulders and upper back, helping to keep headaches at bay.
