Neck & Shoulder Pain
"How to Ease Chronic, Daily, Annoying Neck & Shoulder Pain & Stiffness
Without Pain Medicine & Without Surgery & Without Multiple Trips To The Doctor!"
When it comes to suffering from Neck and Shoulder Pain, people we see want to know:
"Why is This Happening to Me?"...
or,
"Why Does My Neck and Shoulder Still Hurt After 6 Months (or Longer)?"
The majority of people think when they get Neck and Shoulder Pain, it will go away on its own. That one morning, when they wake up, it will be gone like "magic". It will be like the neck and shoulder pain never happened. But then...there you are 6 months later and you are still suffering with neck and shoulder pain and by then it may even be worse than when it started.
Does That Sound Like You?
Another common story our physical therapists hear ALL THE TIME is when patients go to their doctor and they are told to "try this pain medicine and muscle relaxer" and "see how it goes".
This is typically bad advice and 6 weeks later, the patient will go back to the doctor because their knee pain has not gotten any better. Even worse, they will often be given an even stronger pain medicine, and told to keep resting. This is ridiculous and explains exactly why the majority of people aged 40 and older suffer from chronic neck and shoulder pain.
Has This Happened to You?
Why does neck and shoulder pain last longer than it should? It's easy to get confused when you are told different things, from a lot of different people. You can find many people, who are happy to give you advice, but not all of it is credible.
You might think your neck and shoulder pain was caused by something you did, like sleeping awkwardly or lifting. But honestly it was caused by many years of poor posture and poor body mechanics that caused your neck and shoulder muscles to get weak and the final straw was lifting incorrectly or sleeping funny.
Neck and shoulder pain can be extremely confusing and many people end up accepting it as a part of their life - as if it is a "normal thing" and just "the way it's going to be".
Do You Feel That Way Too?
If You Are Currently Experiencing Neck and Shoulder Pain, Here Are 7 More Reasons Why It Could Be Lasting Longer Than It Should:
-
You assumed it would probably go away on it's own - but it hasn't
-
You went to your doctor and were told to take pain meds and rest - but as soon as you stopped taking the meds, the neck and shoulder pain came back or got worse
-
A friend or family member told you everyone gets neck and shoulder pain and you just accept it
-
You've had treatments from other healthcare professionals, maybe a physical therapist or a chiropractor, and nothing they said or did helped your knee pain
-
You researched exercises online, watched youtube videos and they did nothing or made your neck and shoulder pain a lot worse.
-
You thought resting it longer was a good idea, but it just made it more stiff and tight
-
You had a few massages, with the hope it would fix your pain, but it did not fix anything long-term

"What Can I Do To Ease My Neck and Shoulder Pain Fast?"...
Well, here's 4 things you can do:
-
Firstly, you need to make a decision to get help. Many people put off getting help for so long, thinking the neck and shoulder pain might "just go away in time", but 6 months later they are still putting up with it, and nothing has changed...or it has gotten worse.
-
Second, do the RIGHT exercises - one the most beneficial things to help ease your neck and shoulder pain is to do the right combination of exercises - the right exercises given to you by a Physical Therapist will help in reducing pain, and allow you to move more freely again fast - and make sure the problems do not come back anytime soon (or irritate your knee even more like some exercises can).
-
Avoid sitting and long periods of rest - have you tried getting up from the sofa after resting for awhile, but you have a hard time because your knee feels more painful and tight? That is because one of the worst things that adds to neck and shoulder pain is rest, and sit for long periods of time. Resting too much, and awkward sitting positions makes your neck and shoulder stiff and tight. It would help a lot if you were given the correct strengthening exercises to improve posture, along with hands-on treatment, to get you back to being active and healthy as fast as possible.
-
