@drjoedamiani: Do you experience stifness or pain on one side of your neck? Maybe it moves down to the top of the shoulder, shoulder blade or arm? Have you also been stretching that tight muscle by pulling in the opposite direction? Maybe you’ve been tight to stretch the upper trapezius or scalene muscles. This is a very common mistake because while of course there are times when the muscle itself is tight from overuse… Most of the time when the pain has been around for a week or longer there is some type of involvement from the spine. Think about the materials of your spine like a tube of toothpaste if you squeeze it from one side, it puts pressure out to the other so when you stretch your neck to the opposite direction, the pressure forces tissue towards the painful side which can irritate nerves. In this video, I show a way to stretch towards the paint for side to get relief. Well, this will not work for everyone because it depends on exactly what’s going on…. I believe the majority of the people suffering out there will benefit from this. Give it a try and if it’s helpful, do this movement throughout the day until the pain resolves and then stop doing it. #neckpain #neckpainrelief #shoulderpain #headacherelief #tmjdisorder #migraine #pinchednerve #discbulge
