The Best Stretches for Your Neck
Neck pain is one of the most common sources of chronic pain. Our necks are very sensitive and everything from car accidents to poor posture can cause long term health concerns. Crofton area residents rely on our experienced chiropractor to help them learn safe and effective neck stretching techniques.
Causes of Neck Pain
Neck pain can be caused by a wide range of incidents. Everything from how you sit at your desk to bad form while working out can lead to neck pain. This is why neck pain is such a common occurrence. Thankfully, there are plenty of stretching exercises you can do to treat your neck pain.
Stretching for Neck Pain Relief
The best way to treat your neck pain is with the help of a chiropractor. After determining what is causing your neck pain, our chiropractor will recommend a routine of stretches and corrective exercises for you to perform at home. It is important to learn the right form so that you don’t aggravate your neck and make your pain worse.
Here are some basic stretches that you can do at home after learning the motions from our chiropractor:
- Neck Retraction
- Head Drop
- Side Bob
- Rotation
- Shoulder Blade Pull
Learning these stretches will help you improve the strength and flexibility of your neck while reducing pain. It’s worth noting that shoulder, back, and even arm stretches can also take tension off of the neck.
