How To Ease Neck Pain At Home

Dr. Bang is offering exercises to alleviate neck pain, which pain can be a real… Well, if only there were a good phrase for expressing how troublesome pain in that part of the body can be.

To be clear, he’s a doctor of chiropractic, not a medical doctor, but his advice has clearly been helping people alleviate pain, so without further ado, he advises the following things:

• Taking the head and neck slowly and carefully through the full range of motion available
• Contracting the neck muscles while repeating the above exercise, three times each way
• Backing off a little if it hurts at any point, but noting where the limits lie
• Repeating again the range of motion exercise, this time adding gentle resistance
• Holding each end of this for twenty seconds before releasing and doing the other side, three times each way
• Finally, stabilizing the head centrally and pushing into one’s hands, as an isometric strengthening exercise

He demonstrates each part clearly in this short (5:58) video:
