Treat Your Own Neck With A Little Help From Science

It's not surprising there are so many products to help you treat your own neck. Neck stiffness and pain is a very common problem and you're not alone, as most adults will experience it at some point in their life.

But whilst there are some very well researched and developed products available, there are many that will be a complete waste of your money. In fact, in many cases they can even make it worse.

If you are currently seeing a qualified therapist, ask them about products that could help with their treatment.

This may include a new mattress or pillow. Technology has really moved forward in this area with the introduction of memory foam, an amazing material that will mold itself to your body shape.

For more information see memory foam mattresses

Or to see what a memory foam neck pillow could do for your neck and back.

Neck Relief All Day Through

Research into the physiology of pain has led to new ways to treat and relief pain and neck stiffness. There are now many products available that will help bring relief right through the day.

These include:

Heat Packs that can either be used when relaxing, or even when on the go. These are a low-cost option, and can help relieve stiffness and reduce swelling. Many contain lavender as the aroma also helps you to relax. However, note that if you're using a muscle balm, it's not advisable to apply heat at the same time.

Portable ultrasound devices are becoming ever-popular, and as a result, cheaper. Ultrasound causes vibration in the soft tissue cells, increasing temperature and relaxing muscles. However, you should check with your therapist before buying one of these machines as there are a number of medical conditions where they can cause problems. These include tumours, poor arterial circulation and in people with pace-makers, pregnant women and on areas with bruising or broken skin. See below for what's available online.

Muscle balms have always been widely used and can help to bring fast relief from aches and pains. For more on muscle rubs, please see my page on stiff neck remedies.

If you have any queuries to the use of these products please check with your doctor first.



My eBook How To Treat Your Stiff Neck has 56 pages of advice on posture, exercise and relaxation techniques that can help address the cause of your stiff neck. It's available as an instant download so you can get started whilst sitting at your PC.

It could not only relieve your discomfort but save you money on paying for pillows, massages and painkillers.

If you have any doubts about your condition please consult your doctor or therapist.
