Yoga for Neck Pain


Neck pain is a common complaint or an issue among the people who spend lot of hours in front of desktop or driving. The improper postures while typing makes you bend forward which puts a lot of pressure on the neck region. The pain in the neck spreads to the shoulders and sometimes to the arms as well.

The various reasons for neck pain include using a high raised pillow while sleeping, keeping a bent posture for long hours and sometimes it maybe caused due to the obstruction of blood flow caused by the rigidity of nerves and muscles. It can also be caused due to an accident as well. Consult your doctor if the neck pain comes very consistently or persists even after 2-3 days. Prevention is always better than cure. Improve your postures, check the pillow height and manage your stress levels in order to prevent neck pains.

Certain yoga exercises can provide relief for the neck pain. Follow a proper diet and correct your postures along with practicing yoga. Certain yoga exercises such as Bhujangasana, Trikonasana etc. are helpful in treating neck pain. The chin lock and the neck rotation method in clockwise and anti-clockwise direction can also be tried for treating neck pain.

Neck stretches can be tried in the sitting posture to treat neck pain. Rolling your head in full circles can worsen the situation. So, avoid full circles and try only half circle rolling of your neck. Perform arm lifts and shoulder moves i.e. hunching of shoulders as much as possible and relaxing. The chest expander can also be tried while curing neck pain.
