Neck pain can make us feel uncomfortable and even miserable at times, and it can come at the most inconvenient times; when there is no one around to help us get relief. Fortunately, there are ways we can help ourselves

The American Academy of Pain Medicine has gathered statistics on pain for several years. Their data shows that 15 per cent of citizens suffer from neck pain at any given time.  While this may not sound like a lot, doctors say that 70 per cent of the population will have a ‘pain in the neck’ at some point in their lives.

Symptoms of Pain and Inflammation

Often, people simply have a stiff neck, especially if they are tense and stressed out or have been straining their neck while sitting at their desks for hours. In other cases inflammation of the neck is the main problem. Inflammation can present itself in different ways. For some people who suffer from neck pain, inflammation makes the affected area feel hot, while others simply feel pain. Inflammation often occurs when you have neck pain due to an injury. For example, you pull a ligament while participating in a sporting event.
