How to get rid of a CRICK IN YOUR NECK

How to get rid of that crick in your neck.

Hey, it’s me Dr. Daniel and today I want to share with a quick fix to getting rid of neck pain, when you wake up with a crick in your neck.

First realize that most of the pain you’re experiencing is likely coming from the muscles around your neck.

This includes your trapezius, levator scapulae, anterior and posterior scalenes and suboccipital muscles.

So our goal here is to work on releasing these muscles to help get rid of your neck pain.

Step 1 is to work on releasing trigger points in the front part of your neck.

To do this, turn to the same side of your neck pain. If your neck pain is on the left side, then turn your head to the left as much as possible, while also taking your fingers and pushing into the muscle while also pulling or cross fibering your fingers across the muscle.

Take your time and do this for about five seconds, gently pulling the muscle and work your hand down.

Step 2 is to work on stretching your neck muscles by turning opposite the side of pain and down and hold for 10-15 seconds.

Repeat this stretch every 2-3 hours throughout the day.

Step 3 is to make a fist and using your knuckles, gently massage the tissue of your neck by side bending your head over it.

All together, this will help to floss the fascia and nerves that are sending pain signals in the first place.

So there you go, once again I’m Dr. Daniel with Family Health Chiropractic here in Austin Texas and I hope this video helps you to fix your neck pain as fast as possible.

How dare you move your head so freely while I'm suffering smh

[TYNEism]

Thank you. Still a little pain but a lot of improvement

[oogabooga]

I just force my head into a pain spot and hold it there for like 3 minutes, pain goes from very bad to very mild, I do this at every angle where I turn my head and it hurts then when it just feels mild everywhere I'd either just leave it alone or roll my neck around and it's out fairly quickly

Omh! It works instantly with the 1st step!

The excerices in this video? I did those too and they worked for me, but as he said, it's to manage the pain. I had to keep doing them throughout the day until my body fixed itself.

That being said, I miss my balance ball. When I get a crick in my neck, I would lay on my balance ball, chest down, and completely relax on it. I'd turn my head from one side to the other then take my legs and push forward so that the pressure moved all the way from the top of my neck down to my mid back just above my waist. It felt SO good. Loosened up my entire back.

Then I would lay on my back on the floor, knees up and bend, slightly apart, and looking up, I would raise my head and neck and try to touch my chest with my chin, alternating with my hips tilted up, back and flat. And with a flat back I'd keep turning my head to the right and left.

Then I'd put a hot compress on my neck and back, (really a wet towel in a plastic bag), over my neck and shoulders for about 5 minutes.

10 to 15 minutes of that and it was like I never had a crick in my neck.

For me though, I had bad posture. Lots of lower back pain. I spent years working with my back hunched over, and when I started using proper posture positions, (like sitting in a chair properly, walking with my back straight, etc.), I started getting tugs and pulls and sprains in my back. Some places were really weak? And I'd wake up with cricks in my neck.

My chiropractor gave me those exercises to do, because the alternative was back surgery.

I still get cricks in my neck, but they are rare, and keep getting rarer.
