Beating Neck Pain
POOR POSTURE
Muscle strains are frequently caused by overuse, such as spending too much time hunched over a computer or smartphone.
CARRYING A HEAVY SHOULDER BAG
Carrying a heavy shoulder bag cause the shoulder to begin to roll forward and down which stretches the muscles in the neck. This eventually led to weak muscles.
POOR SLEEPING POSITIONS
Sleeping in uncomfortable positions is one of the main reasons for neck pain.
MENTAL STRESS
Taking stress and anxiety tightens muscles in the neck which eventually leads to neck pain.
CONTINUOUS MOBILE USAGE
Using mobile for a longer period of time put strain on your neck and disturbs your posture.
Treatment for neck pain depends on its cause. In most cases, neck pain is easy to cure as it is caused by improper posture and poor lifestyle habits.
Adjust your desk, chair and computer. Try to take periodic breaks from work. Practice good posture while at work or sleeping.
Avoid tucking the phone. Use headphones while speaking.
Sleep in a comfortable position. Sleep on your back if you can. Try a new pillow. Complete your sleep cycle.
Stay well hydrated. Drink at least 4-5 liters of water every day.
Perform proper warmup routines before workouts or playing any sport.
Treating neck pain becomes crucial if it’s restricting your movement. Many times, neck pain can easily be treated by self-care.
ICE/ HEAT
Applying ice to the affected area can help to lessen the swelling and pain. Use an ice or a heating pad for about 15-20 minutes within every 2 hours as it increases the blood flow and makes your muscles feel relaxed.
