Relieving Pain With Lavender Heated Neck Wrap And Other Tips

By Eloise Hewitt


Pain or discomfort in necks has somewhat been a common problem but there are ways of prevention and remedy which you can use. These tips are even simple. They would start with maintaining the appropriate posture to keep your weight at even distribution.

You can also try creating some things that could help. For instance, a lavender heated neck wrap is a good stress relieving tool. Plus, you can personally make this by yourself.

The next thing that you can do is to get yourself a chair which is better and it would be best if you would get something that will support your posture. It should encourage you to always be in a good position and at the same time discourage you to sit while hunching over. The latter is the kind that will cause you the pain you want to prevent.

Moreover, there are some people who will have to work for several hours a day sitting at the computer table which would tend to cause stiffness of your body. This would also be applicable for those who will have to travel in planes and buses for a very long period. In order to remedy the situation, you can stretch gently each hour in order to make your muscles loose.

One more move you can actually do in order to gain relief is to especially to a sudden pain is by simply placing an ice pack. Keep it in place for ten up to fifteen minutes every two hours or maybe three hours within the first two days. Be sure you wrap it first with a cloth and do not directly place in on your skin.

There is yet another therapy that would be following this and that would be the heat treatment which can begin on the third day. One way you can do this is to stand in your warm shower for a couple of minutes and another way is to secure some heating packs or some microwavable pads. But there are also commercial pads which can be disposed after usage but the warmth would last for long hours.

It is also beneficial that you would get a gentle and therapeutic massage especially on the area that is affected. This would be great in reducing the pain that you feel and if you already have this setting in your shower, you can use it. You may also apply some relief creams for this and you can ask a therapist to do this for you.

If your condition has gone bad and the tips aforementioned are not giving you any relief, you may resort to some medications which can be obtained without prescription like aspirin, paracetamol and ibuprofen. But be sure to check the label for the right dosage. If these will not also work, go and see the doctor immediately.

Furthermore, you should not also have a very soft mattress and check the springs once in a while because the might have been broken. Better use a firm one as this will not be hurting your spine. You can also have some exercise that can strengthen the muscles in the neck.
