Relieving Pain With Lavender Heated Neck Wrap And Other Tips

By Eloise Hewitt


Pain and discomfort in necks is quite common but this does not mean that there is so prevention neither solution. The tricks are even simple. The first one that you have to keep in mind is to keep your posture proper so that your weight would be evenly distributed.

There are also some things you can make for yourself. An example would be a lavender heated neck wrap. This is great in relieving tension and stress in your muscles.

The next thing that you can do is to get yourself a chair which is better and it would be best if you would get something that will support your posture. It should encourage you to always be in a good position and at the same time discourage you to sit while hunching over. The latter is the kind that will cause you the pain you want to prevent.

Moreover, there are some people who will have to work for several hours a day sitting at the computer table which would tend to cause stiffness of your body. This would also be applicable for those who will have to travel in planes and buses for a very long period. In order to remedy the situation, you can stretch gently each hour in order to make your muscles loose.

One more thing that you can simply do about this is that you can have some ice bags to relive a sudden pain and these have been considered as an effective and immediate relief. Have one of them in place on the area affected fro about ten minutes every two hours for the first two days. But wrap it with a cloth first before application.

There would also be another treatment that should follow this and that would be the heat therapy which you can do after two days. The simplest way to accomplish this is by simply standing under your shower but you may also get some heat pads or microwavable packs. Moreover, there are still those commercial packs which are disposable but are useful for several hours.

It is also beneficial that you would get a gentle and therapeutic massage especially on the area that is affected. This would be great in reducing the pain that you feel and if you already have this setting in your shower, you can use it. You may also apply some relief creams for this and you can ask a therapist to do this for you.

If your condition has gone bad and the tips aforementioned are not giving you any relief, you may resort to some medications which can be obtained without prescription like aspirin, paracetamol and ibuprofen. But be sure to check the label for the right dosage. If these will not also work, go and see the doctor immediately.

Furthermore, your mattress should be firm if possible and not the soft one because this will only worsen the condition up to your spine. The springs must also be checked for a time and again since they can be broken over a period. There are also some exercise that can make your neck muscles stronger.
