Chronic Neck Pain and Exercise

• According to a recent survey, more than 80 of
  people suffer from Neck Pain at some point during
  their life.
• Neck Pain can be quite irritating and make it
  difficult to perform routine tasks.
• If you suffer from neck pain due to a minor
  injury or poor posture, the pain will go in a
  couple of weeks with the right Neck Pain
  Exercise, posture correction and over the counter
  pain killers.
• But, if you have chronic pain, you may have to
  consult your doctor or physiotherapist.

Chronic Neck Pain and Exercise

• Chronic neck pain may be of various types it
  may be pain that spreads down your arms, it may
  be related to certain activities you do, certain
  positions or postures may be painful more than
  others or it may be worse in the mornings or
  evenings, but ok for the rest of the day.
• Whatever the type of your pain, it is necessary
  that you consult your doctor or physiotherapist
  and get a detailed examination and requisite
  tests done.
• Based on the examination, your doctor may suggest
  you to a course of anti-inflammatory pain killers
  and also recommend you to undergo sessions of
  Physiotherapy.

Chronic Neck Pain and Exercise

• Neck Pain Exercises usually include stretching as
  well as strengthening exercises.
• The first priority for a patient is obviously to
  get pain relief, so the Physiotherapist usually
  works on that angle first.
• Once the pain is under control, the Physical
  Therapist will focus on improving the flexibility
  of the neck region and then to increase the
  strength of the neck.
