Quick Neck Pain Relief Using the Feldenkrais Method

spinal stenosis

Most people have experienced neck pain. Unfortunately for some, neck pain occurs regularly. As the neck is a complicated structure, chronic neck pain may result from muscular, skeletal, airway, digestive, or nerve problems. Pathology in the neck can also create chronic headaches. Once a serious cause of the pain is eliminated as a possibility, more common problems can be addressed. These include:

• Muscle tightness and neck muscle strain is one of the most common causes of neck pain.


• Prolonged postures such as chair sitting and couch lying may create strain in the neck.


• Jaw clenching and teeth grinding can be felt as chronic neck tightness.


• Arthritis involves degenerative changes in the spine creating inflammation in the neck.


• Spinal stenosis is caused by degenerative changes affecting the spinal canal whereby moving the neck creates pain, numbness, or weakness in the neck, arms or hands.


• Spinal disc disease includes degenerative changes in the discs of the neck which may affect the nerves of the neck, shoulder, and arms.

To achieve relief from chronic neck pain one must understand that neck pain is not prevented by the strengthening of the muscles of the neck or stretching the spinal vertebrae with traction. It's the stability of the neck rather than the strength or flexibility of the neck that protects your neck from harm; and therapy for stability is quite different from strength training.
