Suffering from Neck and Shoulder Pain?

Neck and shoulder pain can come from sleeping ot an awkward position, whether from falling asleep on the couch or using the wrong pillow, can twist your neck at an odd angle. This can irritate the muscles, making it hard for you to turn your head from side to side. Neck and shoulder pain can also come from slumping over at work. Many of us spend our workdays hunched over computer desks, sitting for extended periods of time and bending our necks to read mobile devices, all of which can wreak havoc with neck and shoulder muscles. Many of these habits are caused by a poorly organized and inadequate workstation. Carrying a shoulder bag can also bring about neck and shoulder pain. It might seem fashionable to carry a shoulder bag, but an overstuffed shoulder bag can bring about pain due to the weight of the bag is on one shoulder. This creates an uneven load that can throw your posture off. The muscles in your spine are then forced to compensate for the imbalance which can lead to wear, tear and pain—particularly in the upper back, shoulder area and neck. Backpacks are better as they distribute the load on both shoulders. Another possible cause of neck and shoulder pain is doing housework. Household chores—both indoor and outdoor—often involve repetitive movement and overuse that can cause pain in the muscles, nerves and tendons. Things as seemingly harmless as vacuuming, doing laundry and making your bed can involve awkward stretches and heavy lifting that can strain your neck and shoulders. Over time, the twisting, bending and reaching could lead to a variety of issues from minor aches and pains to long-term conditions. Playing with your kids can cause or exacerbate neck or shoulder pain. An afternoon of repeatedly bending down and picking up your child at the playground can cause muscle tension and joint strain that can lead to tightness and pain in your neck and shoulders. And if it’s been a while since you’ve played, shooting hoops with your 10-year-old can have the same consequences.
