Home Remedies For Neck Pain:

Neck pain or stiffness is a common problem. But sometimes it becomes difficult to bear it. There can be many reasons for neck pain.

Sometimes neck pain can be caused by muscle strain in the upper back, or by stretching of the nerves coming out of the cervical vertebrae.

In many cases it can also be due to sitting in bad posture. Sometimes neck pain also occurs due to injury due to fall, muscle strain while playing or walking.

However, in most cases, there is no serious condition in neck pain and it can be overcome with the help of some home remedies.

Train with ice

According to a report by Healthline, to get relief from swelling of the neck, several times a day, compress the neck with ice for about a few minutes.

Apart from this, taking a bath with lukewarm water or using a heating pad can also give you relief from pain.

Resort to massage

Neck massage by a trained therapist can help to relax your neck and back muscles and relieve pain.

Avoid heavy lifting

If your neck stiffness and pain is triggered by physical activity, then you should limit that activity until your pain goes away.

In such a situation, you should also avoid lifting heavy things. Because this can increase your neck pain.

Do this work

-Try not to blow your head. In such a situation, do not twist your neck with a jerk. This can increase swelling.

If the pain is not much, then try to do light stretches by moving the head back and forth and then up and down. This will give relief.

-Wear a neck collar for a few hours to relax stiff neck muscles.

-Sleep without a pillow or use a pillow specially designed to support the neck.
