3 Great Stretches for Fast Neck Pain Relief

Great info! You are so right about muscle imbalances. These stretches will help. After 20 years in practice I have found that spinal misalignments are perhaps more common as causing neck pain. Car accidents, poor posture, too big or flat a pillow,and stomach sleepers are the most common causes of neck problems. A good Chiropractor can help tremendously. Dr. Carlos M.

I recently graduated from ASMT, one of the best schools in the country, where I learned many varied modalities, including Eastern, Russian, Trigger Point, Structural, & Sports massage/stretching. I found the sports & structural modalities to be very beneficial to my clinical clients from school and have received very good feedback from them. Just from watching your 1-2 minute videos on neck exercises & sciatica stretches helped me to learn more indepth ways to stretch my clients with what I already know. In structural, we learned about tensegrity of the body & how muscles affect bones & how they together can affect organs, systems....the whole body. I also have an inversion system at home, but am afraid to use it too often b/c I have HBP and don't want to increase it. Don't know if it will make something in my head pop. I already had a mild stroke beginning of Jan 04, so am very cautious when doing things to myself. I have a myriad of health problems, but am trying to get thru them with as few drugs as possible right now & eventually get totally off them. It will be quite an accomplishment if & when I can do it. I don't have a job right now but will be looking for one as soon as I return from my oncology classes this weekend. I want to help as many people in pain as much as possible. If you can think of any ways for me to accomplish this, I'd appreciate it.

I tried these stretches after a couple days of my neck bothering me and it relieved it tremendously. I've asked other chiropractors and researched some on the internet and I found that neck pain may also be caused by deficiencies in vitamins and supplements such as fish oil! I suggest this to anyone looking for more information!

Don't forget to stretch your mid back and chest to also decrease neck tightness.

I have so enjoyed all your posts and suggestions on back pain - have forwarded the stretching one on to family members - thanks for all the good stuff you send
