How to relieve cervical pain? How to relieve cervical pain

As the economic level continues to improve, many people are under increasing work pressure, and working at a desk for a long time is common. But along with it come physical health problems, especially cervical spine health problems. After working for a long time, many people suffer from cervical pain. If you find yourself having pain in your cervical spine, you can relieve it by relaxing your neck, flexing forward and backward, moving left and right, flexing left and right, rotating sideways and upward, circling the neck, and doing side head rotation with resistance.

1. Relax your neck

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, put one hand on your waist, tilt your head slightly back to relax your neck muscles, and place four fingers of your other hand on your neck, massaging the muscles from bottom to top and then from top to bottom. Alternate hands and repeat 10 times.

2. Bend forward and lean back

First, when you exhale, let your head slowly drop, with your lower jaw touching your chest as much as possible; then, when you inhale, slowly lift your head; then, when you exhale, slowly tilt your head back, with your eyes looking back and up; finally, when you inhale, return your head to normal position, and look straight ahead. Repeat 5-10 times.

3. Move left and right

Same posture as before. First, while exhaling, slowly turn your head to the left and look behind you to the left. Then, while inhaling, return your head to its normal position. Then, while exhaling, slowly turn your head to the right and look behind you to the right. Finally, while inhaling, return your head to its normal position. Repeat 5-10 times.

4. Lateral flexion

Same posture as before. First, while exhaling, bend your head slowly to the left, with your left ear touching your left shoulder. Then, while inhaling, return your head to normal position. Then, while exhaling, bend your head slowly to the right, with your right ear touching your right shoulder. Finally, while inhaling, return your head to normal position. Repeat 5-10 times.

5. Lateral and upward rotation

Same posture as above. First, while exhaling, slowly turn your head to the upper left rear, and look to the upper left rear. Then, while inhaling, return your head to its normal position. Again, while exhaling, slowly turn your head to the upper right rear, and look to the upper right rear. Finally, while inhaling, return your head to its normal position. Repeat 5-10 times.

6. Neck loop

Same posture as above. First, lower your head, slowly rotate your head from left to right for 2 circles, and then from right to left for 2 circles. Repeat 5-10 times. Note: Inhale when you raise your head and exhale when you lower your head.

7. Resistance side head

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms relaxed at your sides. First, keep your body upright, support the left side of your face with your left hand to give your head some resistance, and try to tilt your head to the left without pain or with little pain; then straighten your head, and then use the opposite action to tilt your head to the right and then return to the original position. Repeat 8-12 times.
