, today I just feel free to share with all the readers regarding neck posture
awareness , What You Need To Know About Neck Pain Your head and neck region is
vulnerable to many different stresses,
Bad posture can cause
misalignment of your neck, head, and spine.
• Car accidents can cause whiplash
under our control.
• Age and wear and tear can cause
arthritis and osteoporosis.
• Even activities such as gum chewing
and reading in bed can cause pain.
How do we avoid these
potential problems?
And if we can’t avoid
them, how can we recover as quickly as possible
In my blog you will learn about:
The basic anatomy of the neck region
• Common reasons for neck pain and headaches;
• Ways to reduce stress and the risk of injury;
• Exercises to do at home; and
• How a physiotherapist can help
Anatomy
Of The Neck Region
One of the most flexible regions of the spine is the
neck (cervical) region, which consists of
·
vertebrae, seven shock-absorbing discs, muscles,
and vertebral ligaments to hold them in place.
·
The uppermost cervical disc connects the top of
the spinal column to the base of the skull.
·
The spinal cord, which sends nerve impulses to
every part of the body, runs through a canal in the cervical vertebrae and continues all the
way down the spine.
·
The cervical nerves spread down into the arms;
because of this, arm pain is sometimes traceable to a problem in the neck
Possible Causes Of
Neck Pain And Headaches
·
One of the most common causes of neck pain, and
sometimes headaches, is poor posture.
·
It’s easy to get into bad posture habits without
even realizing it—even an activity as “innocent” as reading in bed can
ultimately lead to pain, headaches, and more serious problems.
How to Avoids
·
The basic rule is simple: Keep your neck in a
“neutral” position whenever possible.
·
In other words, don't bend or hunch your neck
forward for long periods.
·
Also, try not to sit in one position for a long
time.
·
If you must sit for an extended period, make
sure your posture is good:
·
Keep your head in a neutral position, make sure
your back is supported, keep your knees slightly lower than your hips, and rest
your arms if possible
·
Reading in bed can cause neck strain—especially
if you’re propped up on several pillows, bending your neck forward, and trying
to hold your arms out , How to solve ?
·
Your sleeping position is another possible
source of neck problems. Does your pillow cause you to sleep with your neck at
an angle, either too high or too low?
·
Also, remember that pillows don’t last forever.
After a year or so pillows tend to “collapse” and may need to be replaced.
·
In addition, a bed that doesn’t offer enough
back support can also be a source of neck discomfort
Neutral Spine for
Neck
The neutral position rule also holds true for people who
spend time working at computer terminals.
Again, don’t bend your neck forward.
·
Adjust your desk, monitor, and chair to a
comfortable height,
·
So that the monitor is at eye level and your
knees are slightly lower than your hips.
·
Some people find that a footstool helps in
attaining this correct position.
·
Sit close enough to the monitor so that you
don’t have to bend forward in order to see well.
·
Use the chair’s armrests—your arms need support.
Wear your eyeglasses if necessary
Avoiding Neck Stress
Other
bad habits to avoid include:
•
“Shopper’s tilt”—carrying items on one shoulder for a long period; and Carrying
items that are too heavy
How
to Deal
·
“Shopper’s tilt” can be avoided by using a
backpack-style bag to more evenly distribute the weight you’re carrying
·
consider purchasing a compact “rolling suitcase”
with wheels and a retractable handle.
