(Health-NewsWire.Net, August 20, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- There can be many causes of neck pain, and one is aging. It is believed that the decades spent by the neck holding the head often leads to the degeneration of the cervical vertebrae, which almost always results in neck pain. The good news is that this condition can potentially be remedied with ease.
A clinical trial shows that exercise is a great remedy for neck pain for individuals who suffer from cervical arthritis, which develops due to injury associated with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. There are several symptoms that neck pain sufferers are susceptible to, such as stiffness, headaches, muscle weakness, numbness, chronic pain and loss of balance.
The Punkaharju Rehabilitation Center in Finland conducted a clinical trial to determine the potential positive effects of strength training in the neck, when compared to stretching or when one is not engaging in any exercise activity at all. The study also tried to uncover whether exercise has the potential to provide pain relief regardless of the cause of pain.
The study involved 180 women who were between the ages of 25 and 53, who were office workers, and were chronic pain sufferers. It was found that three-quarters of the participants experienced absolute or considerable pain relief. The researchers believed that the strength-training exercises worked to provide neck pain relief.
It was also found that the subjects still experienced neck strength and pain relief after one year. They also experienced some improvements in their ability to make some movements of the neck, such as looking up and down or sideways. What makes it even more interesting is that the improvements were 10 times better than the participants who belonged to the control group.
The lead researcher of the study, Jari Ylinen, believes that stretching exercises should be performed together with activities that can help strengthen the shoulder and neck muscle. It is also important to note that those who performed the strength-training exercises made use of an elastic resistance band in every set of exercises. Individuals who suffer from neck pain should make sure that they seek the permission of their healthcare provider before doing some exercises at home.
Individuals, such as those who suffer from arthritis, often resort to using natural alternatives such as glucosamine supplements. Glucosamine is believed to have very powerful therapeutic substances that aid in cartilage repair and improvement in joint health. Those who suffer from neck pain may also benefit from this particular natural alternative (http://www.amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4/).
