Chronic Neck Pain

Chronic Neck Pain

Chronic neck pain usually does not go away on its own. This is why people are so willing to spend hundreds upon hundreds of dollars for even a bit of relief, and a majority of people will experience neck pain at some point and time in their lives.While not all of these cases are serious, chronic neck pain can last anywhere from a few days to a few months. According to experts, regular neck pain can usually be managed with rest, therapy, and/or an anti-inflammatory or pain medication. However, chronic neck pain is often only dulled by these remedies, not actually cured or relieved.

So, what causes neck pain? Neck pain can be caused by many things. Your neck is composed of seven vertebrae. These bones are supported by tendons and muscles, and each bone is separated and cushioned by disks full of a gel-like substance. If any of these bones, tendons, muscles, or disk become injured, it can cause subtle to intense pain. As you get older, the disks between bones that act like miniature shock absorbers begin to deteriorate. Disks also become displaced or slip out from between the bones, which can cause a lot of pressure and stress on nerves, causing even more pain.

The first thing you will want to do, if you begin to have constant neck pain, is go see your doctor. Even after a physician diagnoses the problem, often times the way to correct or help neck pain is not easy or quick. To help support your neck and manage the pain, many physicians suggest a good neck pillow.
