Looking for some Neck Pain Relief?
- I really like to stay with the basics when it comes to neck pain, and say that hands-on massage work is one of the best things to reduce it. So that is my first tip. Find a good Massage Therapist who has great recommendations. When your neck is bothering you, this is not a luxury, but rather an essential for your health and wellbeing. Being proactive is a lot less expensive than surgery, and it much easier.
- I have found this great new gadget on the internet called Dr Riter’s Real Ease. I have no financial link to this item, but have tried it myself and with clients, and we all love it. It is so comfortable and relaxes the neck muscles. I know when I use it, my whole body starts to relax also. I found this on Amazon.
- Believe it or not, often neck pain can result from a misaligned pelvis. A chiropractor can help you to restore better posture in conjunction with soft tissue work. A healthy pelvic girdle and spine support a healthy neck.
- Stop bending over to look at your I phone and computer. Either prop up your technology or get a proper ergonomic chair and working station. Almost every client who walks into my office these days has forward head. That ends up being a lot of weight that is being carried incorrectly.
- Research good pillows. There is nothing worst than waking up with a stiff and painful neck. Personally, I bought mine at Brookstone. They have a good selection, and it helps me to sleep well on my back. However there are many other brands. My chiropractor sold me one which was quite nice which I found on this page too.
While neck pain is a common ailment, it does not make it any easier when it hurts. If it stays persistent, even with heat//cold treatment, go see a physician. Neck issues should not be ignored. Be proactive in your health!

Waking up in the morning with a pain in the neck is an awful feeling. Not only does a kink in the neck make it hard to move, sending stabbing pains down the arms or back, it is often the reason for headaches, ranging from dull to migraine level.
Yes, and your neck can do better with good pillows at night, as well as with fascial work in the thoracic, arm and neck area. Postural changes too can make a big difference!
