Stiffness of the neck can make the day unbearable and almost unforeseeable. The stiffness of the neck and the pain and discomfort can really put a stop to your freedom of movement.
Fortunately, a stiff neck usually wears off after a couple of days. And if that does not happen there are a lot of great practitioners who can help you with your problem.
Reasons for a stiff neck may be many. You may have slept in an awkward position, have sat in a draught or you may have made a quick or unfortunate movement with your head or neck. A stiff neck may also occur due to sedentary work by the computer or after a long car ride during which you have held your head in the same position.
More serious disorders may also cause a stiff neck. For instance it may occur after a slipped disc or by a whiplash, but also mental imbalances can cause a stiff neck. Stress, anger, depression and other long-term emotional imbalances can also cause tension which may set in the occipital muscles.
You can do a lot yourself to relieve a stiff neck. Although it may feel quite unpleasant it is important to stay active and in that way keep the neck strong and supple. This may relieve the pain and lower the risk of getting a stiff neck again.
Massage and light stretching is also good treatment for a stiff neck. If the stiffness of your neck is more severe, we recommend that you seek professional help in order to get the right stretching exercises and the right type of massage.
