Natural relief for Headaches, Neck Pain, and Shoulder Tension

Try this at home to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and stop many headaches before they ruin your day. Next time you have neck/shoulder pain and tension, you can try this before you pop a pill. It is free and works great for many people.

First of all, your spine needs to move for you to be comfortable when you are at rest. If you work at a computer, play games, text, sit, or read for extended times, then you should get up and move around periodically. At least every hour (even if you have no pain), and every 30 min if you are prone to discomfort. Pick your head up, bring your shoulders back, and walk around This movement in your spine, shoulders, and hips can be enough to reduce your pain. Do this for just 2 min, then get right back to work!

But sometimes remembering to move isn't enough. Many people have lost the normal curve in there neck. Loosing your curve can overstretch the muscles and stresses joints and nerves. Many people find relief with gentle cervical support, which provides traction that is safe for most people. Without any special equipment you can do this at home, after work, as you feel tension coming on, or after a long day. You can do this a few times a day for relief or prevention of pain. Watch the video to see how to properly support your neck for gentle traction and relief.

This method usually provides relief within 5 minutes. If your pain does not improve or if it gets worse with this method, then stop. You should see a doctor if your symptoms do not improve because you may have more serious problems.

Doctors That DO: Pain Management

Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs) have a keen understanding of how the body’s systems are interconnected and how each one affects the others.

As part of their education, DOs receive special training in the musculoskeletal system, your body’s interconnected system of nerves, muscles and bones. Using OMT, your DO can effectively treat your muscles and joints to relieve pain, promote healing and increase overall mobility.
