Waking up in the morning and finding that your neck can't move, any slight turn of the head will cause intense pain. The suffering of a stiff neck is something that many people have experienced, but how can we alleviate the pain after experiencing a stiff neck? Let's learn together below.
【Stretching the Neck】
First, gently stretch the head upwards, being careful not to exert too much force. When you reach the limit, pause for a moment, and then bring your neck down. Stretching the neck can effectively prevent muscle adhesions in the neck.
【Patting the Shoulders】
Shrug both shoulders up and down at the same time, or rotate them forward and backward. After shrugging for a few minutes, gently pat the shoulders. The purpose of doing this is to reduce the tension in the muscles of the neck, which has a good effect on relieving stiff neck problems.
【Hot Compress】
Using a hot water bag, electric hand warmer, hot towel, or infrared lamp can all have a pain-relieving effect. The warmth can alleviate local muscle spasms and improve tissue blood circulation. Pay attention to avoid burns.
【Neck Massage】
Before massaging, you can rub your hands together to warm them up, and then gently massage the painful area. Do not apply too much force during the massage, just gently knead for a few minutes until the area feels warm.
By using the above methods appropriately, you can effectively eliminate the symptoms of a stiff neck in a short period of time. Did everyone learn it?
