neck pain
Neck pain can be caused by many different conditions. Please get a
diagnosis from your healthcare professional to make sure you do not have
a serious condition that needs be addressed immediately or something
for which exercise or massage may be detrimental. These techniques are
safe to address pain caused by muscle spasms from stress, fibromyalgia or
minimally-involved neck arthritis.
Problems of the spinal column in the neck area
show up as severe muscle spasms from the side
of the neck to the top of the shoulder with the
most sensitive areas (trigger points) a couple of
inches away from the spinal column. There is a
ridge on the back of the head called the occiput
or occipital ridge, where several neck muscles
attach. When the muscles attached to the occiput
are tight and in spasm, you can get “occipital
headaches,” more commonly known as tension headaches.
Begin using the MedMassager
™
on a gentle low-number setting and
massage directly below the occiput. Continue massaging trigger points
of the neck muscles and the occipital ridge.
