As a long time neck pain sufferer (more than 10 years before I found relief), I have not only sympathy for my clients who complain of this ailment but also a great deal of empathy.
I have always remained as a confident positive person. But I have to admit that after suffering from chronic neck pain and related side effects like headaches jointly brought down my confidence.
If you are frequently experiencing headaches as a result of neck pain, one clear indicator will be stiffness or pain in the posterior neck muscles (back of the neck).
These headache will not be very severe on the other hand they will be mild. When there is more pressure on the neck muscles the pain increases. The time the pain lasts can anything between few hours or days.
Generally it pains only on one side of the head and the shoulder of the same side rarely. But sometimes it can spread to both sides of the head.
In some cases, the headache can worsen and symptoms of migraine headache can occur. The following symptoms have also been reported: nausea, vomiting, dizziness, blurred vision on the side of the headache, difficulty swallowing and sensitivity to light and sound.
A forward extension of the head with rounded back is called a poor posture. Poor posture, over use of neck muscles and stress are the major reason that causes neck pain.
Just stop reading the article and notice your posture. This is the posture what I was talking about.
This is typical of computer users. These days, there's very few of us who don't spend at least a couple of hours per day on the computer.
How could this be? Think about positioning a bowling ball on top of your head. If your posture is perfectly correct, this would be no problem. Now lean forward just a few inches - it's now nearly impossible! Don't underestimate just how heavy your head is in relation to the neck that's supporting it.
Women are much affected with neck related headache as the report 4 times as much as men. How many men compared to women tend to stand with their shoulders straight and head up? This is not gender biased I just wanted you to watch.
Of course, correcting one's posture is the simplest answer to correcting neck related headaches along with an ergonomic chair if you sit all day at a computer.
In rare cases neck pain can be caused by trauma. In those circumstances we compensate it by using other muscles like jaw muscles and shoulder muscles.
This is why I highly recommend my all natural Neck Pain No More program. There is no strain involved, the exercises are simple to do and best of all, they don't stress the already injured neck muscles which have cause you to seek relief!
