Neck Pain Archives - Page 3 of 3

Chronic pain is pain that goes on for weeks, months, or even years. Trigger points in neck and back muscles are sore or sensitive spots in the body that are implicated in a number of common chronic pain complaints including low back pain, neck pain, migraines, frozen shoulder and sciatica to name just a few. And neuromuscular massage utilizes trigger point therapy to give you lasting relief.

You may be wondering which came first, the trigger point or the chronic pain. But while it can sound kind of like the chicken and egg conundrum, when it comes to pain, the question is no joke.

When you’re injured, your nerves send a signal to your brain to let you know there is a problem. This is known as acute pain and it usually goes away within a short amount of time. Chronic pain is different. It sticks around. Some 100,000 million Americans suffer from chronic pain, and 1 out of 10 have experienced pain that lasts for 3 or more months. Worldwide, over 1.5 billion people suffer from chronic pain. And trigger point massage therapy is a great solution.

Chronic low back pain is the most common complaint, followed by headaches and migraines, then neck pain. More than three-quarters of those people report feeling depressed due to their chronic pain, and 1 person out of 5 says the pain disturbs their sleep at least a few nights a week. Over half of Americans who suffer from chronic pain say that they feel they have little to no control over the problem. The good news is you do have the power to do something about your chronic pain, and it doesn’t involve drugs or surgery.

There are several trigger points in neck and back muscles that contribute to these problems. The pain may stay local, meaning you feel pain right under the trigger point, or it may refer, meaning you feel it elsewhere, such as pain that radiates up into your head or down to your legs. Neuromuscular massage and trigger point therapy release the muscles and alleviate the problem, even if the condition has gone on for some time.

Many people experience relief after a single treatment of neuromuscular massage or trigger point therapy. While for some one session is all they need, others may find that regular appointments help to manage pain and stress due to their lifestyle, work or stress load. The massage and bodyworkers at Massage Revolution have been specially trained in trigger point therapy. We want to help you free yourself from chronic pain.

Did you know that trigger points are far and away the most common cause of pain in your back and neck muscles, as well as elsewhere in the body? Neuromuscular massage and trigger point therapy can release these sore spots, restoring your muscles to their natural, pain-free state.

Trigger points are tiny knots that develop in muscles when they are overworked or injured. A single injury can cause pain that goes on for weeks, months, years, or even a lifetime.

When you get injured, your body’s natural reaction is to protect itself, and it does this by changing the way you sit, stand, or move. Unfortunately this protective reflex can put strain on your muscles, and cause a cascading effect of dysfunction throughout the body.

The truth is, we all have trigger points. It’s really a question of how much yours affect your daily activities. Trigger points can cause a wide array of symptoms from headaches to heartburn to heart arrhythmia. Trigger points in the neck can cause things like headaches, blurred vision and TMJ, while trigger points in the back can cause chronic low back pain, sciatica and even a herniated disc.

One of the ways you know you have a trigger point is that the pain refers, meaning you feel it somewhere else in the body. For example, a trigger point in the neck may refer up into the head or down the arms, while a trigger point in the low back may refer pain down into the legs.

Another way you know you have a trigger point is that rubbing the spot where it hurts doesn’t seem to help. This is because the problem originated elsewhere, but the massage therapists and bodyworkers at Massage Revolution have all been trained in neuromuscular massage and trigger point massage therapy and know how to find the origin of your pain.

Lose the pain and gain freedom from sore, achy muscles. You deserve to be pain-free. A single session of neuromuscular massage can have you footloose and pain-free by the end of today.

Frozen shoulder is a condition causing severe pain. It involves sudden onset of pain caused by a series of muscles tightening in the shoulder area. The underlying cause does not materialize abruptly. The condition is due to a muscular imbalance rooted from numerous factors with the most common being strains and inactivity.

The body is quite effective in adjusting and compensating for muscular imbalances and injuries. The bodily adjustments can and do extend for long periods of time. Therefore, you may not feel much muscular or skeletal discomfort even though there’s increasing muscular compensation taking place. But as you might guess, the body also has limitations to this cover-up. When it reach that point, any minimal movement can trigger muscular spasm and drive the imbalance into new and severe source of localized pain.

Massage Revolutions neuromuscular massage therapy is a highly effective treatment in relieving and eliminating frozen shoulder pain. This massage therapy eliminates muscle spasms and hyper-contraction in the tissue by correcting the structural imbalances that forms the compensating muscular pattern. The treatment will pinpoint the greatest source of pain like ischemic tissues or muscles lacking of blood supply due to tightening. Neuromuscular massage therapy will locate the specific contributory muscle imbalances thus enabling precisely located massage treatment to the effected area.

The expression ‘a pain in the neck’ exists for good reason. If you’ve never woken up with a stiff neck, you’re in the lucky minority. Neck pain can ruin your day and keep you from giving your all. If you suffer from chronic neck pain but don’t want to pop pain pills all the time, neuromuscular massage and bodywork may be the natural solution for you.

Why does your neck hurt after sleeping? Sometimes neck pains are simply the result of sleeping wrong. Your neck got twisted, there was a cold draught, or maybe you had to sleep in an unfamiliar bed, or perhaps you’ve been experiencing extra stress lately. Maybe all you need is a good night’s sleep and the pain disappears. But if that’s the case, you probably aren’t reading this article.

Neck pain can make it hard to concentrate on other things like work or enjoying time with your family and friends. So if you’ve switched up your pillow and the position you sleep in, made changes to your diet and tried going to bed early, and still your neck hurts, give us a call. Our neuromuscular massage therapists in Los Angeles can help.

Studies show that sleep position isn’t always the cause of muscle pain in the neck. It is sometimes the type of sleep. People who have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, wake too early or don’t find sleep to be restorative are far more likely to feel pain than those who get good-quality sleep. This loss of sleep can disrupt the healing cycle that normally takes place while you are asleep. Worse, the pain might be the reason you’re waking up, contributing to the vicious cycle.

Neuromuscular massage therapy and bodywork can help break that cycle by relaxing the muscles of the neck and restoring them to their correct position.

Note: In certain situations, neck pain can indicate a more serious problem. If the pain persists, it could be due to arthritis, worn joints, or an injury such as whiplash. If the pain is severe or if your neck is twisting to one side, you may have acute torticollis. This condition can be due to a number of factors including infection, and medical intervention may be required. Our chiropractic doctors will evaluate your individual situation and find the right course of treatment for you. Contact us!

Who really knows where neck pain comes from. It just pops up from stress, a bad night’s sleep, a strain, who knows.

However, when it does pop up, too many people think it has to do with spine alignment and not about the muscles or tightness.

It could be a problem with the spine or vertebra, but it could also be that the muscles in the neck are tight or constricted, or have landmine knots in them called trigger points.

In fact, the cause of most neck pain are muscle imbalances, tight muscles, and trigger points, with the most important first step to get rid of it for good being highly skilled neuromuscular massage therapy, which details and releases the muscle spasms and trigger points like no other technique.

Adults regularly report having neck pain and most likely everyone has experienced it. Most people come for neuromuscular massage with the complaint of chronic neck pain.

Massage for Neck Pain

1. Massage around the spine can be pain relieving and soothing. These muscles may alleviate tension within the neck. Therefore, any amount of specific, detailed neuromuscular massage and relaxation for neck painmay be beneficial.

2. Neuromuscular massage is the most scientific, evidenced based massage, and most valid approach of massaging the neck area that is sore, distressed, or in pain. Treating the body holistically as a unit is crucial, as different areas of the body are connected to others, so overall attention to the spine in general is important.

3. Massage for neck pain is not just for pain management, but it can also be preventative. With regular neuromuscular massage, pain after a trauma or accident may be reduced. This emphasis on pre-trauma health is increasingly based on research and evidence.

4. Massage scheduled regularly will more significantly benefit neck pain.

Besides tight muscles and trigger points, the cause of neck pain can often be a mystery, but sometimes neck pain is transient. Preventive, ongoing massage is key. For more information, contact Massage Revolution.
