Treat Neck Pain.With effective exercises and other treatments."Quite often, I see people who treat neck pain by correcting the injury, but fail to strengthen their neck and posture, which usually leads to re-occurrence
of their injury."
Treatment of your neck pain really depends on the cause of your neck pain. If you received an injury to your neck due to a whiplash or sports injury, then there is likely to be a muscle, ligament and/or joint out of function. The treatment for this type of injury requires manual therapy to correct the alignment and function, followed by strengthening exercises to facilitate a good posture and function for your neck.  Quite often, I see people who correct the injury, but fail to strengthen their neck and posture - and this usually leads to the re-occurrence
of their injury.
Another more common cause of neck pain is postural dysfunction - where a poor sitting posture over time weakens and strains your neck muscles and ligaments causing pain. In this case, all the manual treatment in the world will not cure your neck pain. If the cause of your neck pain is poor posture while sitting then the cure lies in the posture correction through advice - which I accompany with Pilates type exercises for my own clients. As well as manual correction and education with regard to sitting posture - I often suggest products such as neck roll pillows and back support chairs that you can use to help maintain correct posture. Posture exercises for are very beneficial for the long term resolution of your symptoms. Picture this ... if a door is out of joint - that is off its hinges - then you must put it back in its hinge first and then keep it there. Putting it back in its hinge is equivalent to manual therapy and keeping it there is dependent on postural and strength exercises for your neck. If you don’t follow through with the exercises the problem may well re-occur. Ultimately, the treatment of your neck pain relies on an accurate diagnosis and subsequent efficient and effective treatment. Find the professional who understands this.
