Neck Pain

Chiropractor Johnson City TN: Neck Pain Doesn’t Stop There

Neck pain is insidious and systemic.  You wake up in the morning with a stiff neck from trying to accommodate a Doberman, two Persians, one small child and three stuffed animals in your full-sized bed.  This happens, you can live with it.  No big deal.

What really happens though, is that as the day goes on, whether you work in a field, at a desk, a construction site or trying to keep your house and family running, you find yourself maintaining unnatural positions in order to keep the pain from jumping on you and stopping you in your tracks.  What this works out to in reality, is that by the end of the day, you aren’t dealing with neck pain anymore.

Well, you are, but not just neck pain.  Even without all the contorting you’ve been doing to drive to drive, type, answer the phone or pour cement without turning your head too far, this probably would have extended up into your skull, gifting you with a generous headache.

Going down and outwards, it is very likely that you now have upper back and shoulder pain, possibly compounded by lower back aches, depending on what kind of day it’s been.  The longer this goes on, the worse it will get and sooner or later the Doberman will expect to be picked up and you might never move again.

It’s also highly probable that you’re dosing yourself with some analgesic or other.  These are not bad in the short term and can certainly be what you need to get through the day, however, over time and in large doses, none of them is really good for you.

We’ve all heard of the dangers of anything prescription – addiction, inability to function and so on.  Not to mention the expense.  Even the over-the-counter pills have side effects overtime.  

Acetaminophen can lead to liver damage, acetacylic acid, ibuprofen and naproxen sodium can all cause blood thinning and lead to things like stomach ulcers.  Finally, while they do either mask the pain or in some cases actually relieve the swelling in the insulted area, which can have some positive effect, they do not address the overall problem.

While anyone can get neck pain now and again – somedays it’s a miracle we don’t get more – chronic, severe or consistent pain may have a lager cause.  Muscles hurt because they’re overworked or being worked in an unnatural way.  And because the body is a system, something that goes wrong with one part can generally lead to problems with another.

Having your body put back into alignment and being taught how to strengthen the muscles and carry yourself in a way that you stay that way can have an amazing positive impact.  Pain makes us less active and more cautious of ourselves.

Not that caution is necessarily bad, but being afraid to participate in even moderately physical activity due to certainty or even fear of pain can seriously diminish your quality of life.  Knowing your muscles are strong enough and that you are using the right body mechanics so that you don’t need to fear neck pain will make a world of difference.

A Child in Pain $25.11 This comprehensive book is designed to help pediatric health professionals of all disciplines gain understanding and skill in how to approach and treat childrens pain, and how to help children make sense of and deal with their own pain. Pain is the most common reason for children to seek a medical consultation – and sometimes a common reason for avoiding it. Unaddressed fears and anxiety complicate pain management and recovery. A central theme in this book is the examination of childrens fears and anxieties that accompany their need for pain relief, and the communication skills and words that can help calm these fears. This book is addressed to all disciplines, in its valuing of the professional-patient relationship and in the language used to allay anxiety, address fears and promote relief and well-being. It is organized into three parts:Part I explores our scientific understanding of pain as a part of childrens development. Part II explores pain treatments themselves, their efficacies and how to combine them for therapeutic impact. Part III uses this understanding to help translate knowledge into clinical practice in three domains of pediatric medicine: the physicians practice, the dental practice, and in the hospital. This volume also includes contributions by Dr. Jonathan Kuttner, on the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of pain, Dr. Carl von Baeyer on pain assessment, and Drs Stefan Freidrichsdorf and Helen Karl on the pharmacological management of pain.Without doubt, this volume will stand as the bible on pediatric pain management for years to come.

Most importantly, it discusses how you can prevent neck pain, so that once your pain is gone, it stays gone. Neck pain is increasingly common as more of us work in offices that make it unnecessary to move from our computers and desks. Major topics discussed include a discussion of why the neck is one of the most common areas to develop pain as the result of our increasingly immobile lifestyle, and how pain is rooted in the neck’s complex anatomy and function. With this information, it becomes clear why the strategies for dealing with it are recommended. These include:. •the importance of good posture while sitting, standing, walking, and sleeping;. •setting up your workplace for optimal comfort and support, to prevent injury;. •a simple and effective 10-minute exercise program for your neck, including stretches and strength training, that will help to take away the pain and keep it from coming back;. •medical options when improving posture and simple exercises don’t help;. •a discussion of the symptoms that mean a physician should be consulted; and. •the approaches that will be used if medical intervention is needed. In addition, for the 10-20% of people with neck pain that does not respond to conservative therapy, the authors discuss in detail options such as medications, injections, and—rarely needed—surgery.
