Neck pain and tips to relieve it - Beaufort South Carolina The... - The Island News 82570622173.

Neck pain affects more people than you might think. Seven out of ten people will experience neck pain at some point in their life, according to doctors.

By describing the neck symptom or combination of symptoms, you can help your doctor figure out what's wrong.

The most common causes of neck pain are listed below.

1. Overexertion, prolonged physical or mental stress or muscle pain can cause neck and shoulder muscles to ache. The neck muscles can develop hard knots, which are tender to touch. These are sometimes called trigger points.

2. A muscle spasm is a sudden and powerful tightening in the neck muscles. Your neck may feel tight, knotted or painful and you may find it difficult to turn your head. If you wake up with a stiff neck and pain, it's probably a muscle spasm. Muscle spasms can be caused by a muscle injury or a disk problem. A neck muscle spasm can be triggered by emotional stress, but there are often no obvious causes.

3. Headache. Neck-related pain is often felt at the back of the neck and the upper head. It is usually caused by muscle tension. Neck-related headaches are usually dull or aching rather than sharp. The neck may also feel stiff or tender. It gets worse when you move your neck.

4. Facet joint discomfort can be described as deep, sharp or aching. It may also radiate into your shoulder or upper spine. As with other locations, arthritis in the facet joint (part of the cervical vertebrae) may feel worse when you wake up or after a period inactivity.

5. Irritation of the spinal roots can cause pain that is sharp, fleeting or severe. It may also be accompanied by pins-and-needles. The pain can travel down the arm, or even into the hands depending on the nerve.

6. Referred pain. Referred Pain is pain that occurs in one part of your body when another part is affected. Neck pain that gets worse with exercise may be a sign of a heart condition, while neck discomfort that occurs after eating may be a sign of an esophagus problem.

7. Neck pain caused by soft tissues is far more common than pain in the cervical vertebrae. Medical attention is needed for bone pain, as it could be a sign of a more serious problem.

Neck pain is usually a gradual process. Dr. Zacharia Isaac of Harvard Medical School and the Comprehensive Spine Care Center, Brigham and Women's Hospital says that neck pain can be caused by arthritis or degenerative disc disease and exacerbated by poor posture, declining muscular strength, stress and even lack of sleep.

You and your doctor can use a combination of self help techniques and over the counter pain medications to manage and relieve pain.

6 ways of relieving neck pain

1. Do not stay in the same position for too long. Dr. Isaac says it's difficult to reverse bad posture. However, if you move around and get up often, you can avoid your neck getting stuck in a bad position.

2. Make some ergonomic adjustments. Position your computer monitor so that you can easily see it. Wear a headset or use the hands-free feature on your phone. Instead of laying flat on your lap, prop your tablet up on a pillow at a 45deg. angle.

3. If you wear glasses, keep your prescription up to date. "When your eyewear is not up-to-date, you tend lean your head forward to see better," says Dr. Isaac.

4. Don't use too many pillows. If you sleep with multiple pillows under your head, it can restrict your neck's movement.

5. Know your limits. Ask for help before you move an armoire.

6. Sleep well. Sleep problems can increase your risk of developing a variety of conditions, including musculoskeletal discomfort.

Neck pain is not a cause for concern. If it is accompanied by other symptoms that are more serious, such as numbness, weakness or radiating pain in an arm or leg or a fever, you should consult your doctor. If you have severe neck pain or a fever, it's important to consult your doctor. These symptoms should be reported to your doctor.

A Specialized Approach for Neck and Back Pain: Dr. Scott Raub… – Vail Daily 825706221773

Dr. Scott Raub helps people with severe and prolonged neck and back pain by treating the source of pain, working within limitations, and maximising potentials.

As a physiatrist, he specializes at Vail-Summit Orthopaedics & Neurosurgery in accurately diagnosing musculoskeletal disorders through a variety of clinical exams, imaging and other diagnostic tests. He then treats them with nonsurgical interventions that include multiple modalities ranging from injections and physical therapy.

Dr. Scott Raub, MD, joined Vail-Summit Orthopaedics & Neurosurgery as the first physiatrist in Eagle County in 1999.

It is often difficult to determine the exact cause of spinal problems due to the dense network of nerves. This is especially true when the pain originates from multiple areas. Dr. Raub specializes on determining the source of pain. This is done by examining patients and using diagnostic tools such as xrays, MRIs or live fluoroscopic images.

He said that an MRI often does not show where the pain originates. It doesn’t have a “red arrow” indicating, “this is what hurts.” We use it along with a physical and a history exam. “Then we can make a plausible diagnosis of the pain generator.”

Dr. Raub treats many patients who have already tried physical therapy and chiropractic adjustments, as well as multiple medications. He is quick to point out the fact that most spinal conditions don’t require surgery. He takes a collaborative approach and often incorporates spinal injections as well as a community of back-pain experts (physical therapists massage therapists chiropractors personal trainers etc.). ).

“My philosophy is to really improve symptoms,” he explained, describing his approach multimodal. “I always stress that injection results will never be a permanent solution, because they do not change or improve the anatomy. It’s important that people are educated to have realistic expectations once they start a treatment algorithm for spine pain.

Dr. Raub uses a holistic (and realistic approach) to help patients optimize their activities, while making reasonable compromises. For example, taking the time to exercise regularly and reducing risks by avoiding crowded runs on skis or biking, or reducing speed during skiing or biking.

Dr. Scott Raub specializes in accurately diagnosing musculoskeletal conditions through a range of clinical exams, images and other diagnostic tests.

“One of the most important things you can tell people is that they don’t have an evil problem that will kill them. The vast majority of people are going to improve.” He said that it is important to demystify the pain, validate that there is a cause for your back pain and remind them that they are not going to be in a wheel chair. “There are some things we can improve the situation.”

He encourages his patients to be a part of the solution both mentally and behaviorally.

He said that the patient must also be willing to accept the treatment prescribed.

This means modifying lifestyle risks, such as smoking, obesity or a sedentary life style, and setting realistic expectations. For example, a 65 year old can’t expect to be able to bounce around in a terrain park without back pain.

Dr. Raub supports a youthful attitude. He calls it “a powerful tool for achieving positive results for spinal patients.”

After completing his residency in physical medicine, rehabilitation, and pain management in 1994, and his fellowship in sports and exercise medicine in 1995, he joined VSON in 1999 as the first physiatrist to work in Eagle County.

“It’s been the best part in my life, living and working here,” said he. “The people with whom I work are wonderful — they are educated and sophisticated people who are active and age well. The patients I take care of are fascinating individuals. “They’re here because the want to be here.”

Dr. Raub, who is a skier, outdoor enthusiast, and a member of the VSON team, understands how important it is for his patients to maintain an active lifestyle. He and the VSON team are focused on helping people get back to what they love.

“At VSON we have sub-specialty doctors who are top-notch and have the intellect, technology, and ability to work in a big city, if we chose to, but we value the mountain lifestyle,” said he. “Our patients receive big-city care within a small-town setting.”
