It still amazes me that so many practitioners make this neck pain mistake. For you the public it is obvious why, as you have never been told the full story.

Neck pain is increasing, it is also an area that tends to be hard to remove and returns often. Some people end up living with neck pain for years, searching for ways to help target the neck and relieve at least some pain.

However, the search is fruitless and the results are dreadful. Why?

There is one huge mistake made with neck pain relief. Most practitioners only look at your neck. Yet your neck is influenced by so many other factors.

Did you know that your neck pain is caused as much by lower back issues than it is neck ones?

Did you know the most common cause of neck pain is actually your upper back?

Neck pain is debilitating, it can cause headaches, nausea and make you feel fatigued and generally foggy with your thinking. You struggle to look behind you to drive your car in reverse. You dread lifting your children, with the fear your neck is going to be extremely painful.

Neck pain relief is a complex issue. You must look outside your neck for answers. Your upper back supports the weight of your head on your shoulders via your neck. If your upper back tires then the muscles in your neck have to work that much harder to work.

Your lower back and pelvis affect your neck also. Think of how you walk, your arms and legs move at the same time. So if there is tightness in your lower back then your upper back and neck will also tighten.

The joints in your neck are smaller, the muscles more refined and hence less able to cope with the physical stresses. Lower back issues can cause neck pain well before you notice any lower back ache.

There is a saying…

“Stress Rides On Your Shoulders”

When you sit at your desk, the pressures of work and home increase, there is global crises, famines and wars and many other stresses that you buy into. All of these place tension on your neck and upper back and lead to pain.

The biggest mistake make in neck pain relief is believing that because you have a sore neck, all the issues come from that one spot in your neck. They don’t.

If you want long lasting neck pain relief, you must look elsewhere. Otherwise you are potentially missing 90% of the causes of your pain.

Don’t make the mistake that so many others have made, that keeps them in pain or dooms them to their older years living in pain. Fix your neck pain permanently, look outside the neck itself and make sure you get long term neck pain relief.
