Upper Neck Pain with Headache

The area where the upper neck meets contains the suboccipital nerve… when the tissue is tight and unhealthy, it compresses the nerve causing headaches! The headaches can wrap all the way around to the forehead.

Over time our posture and lifestyle keeps us in the same positions and tissues become tighter and tighter sending an abnormal signal from these tissues to the brain. If these tissues happen to be in the upper neck, not only do they compress nerves but they themselves signal to the brain that there is a dysfunction which can spark more pain.

Try these great exercises to strengthen and re-normalize the tissue.

I am 35 years old and for past quite few months I had a severe neck pain and I was searching for the right exercise in the YouTube. Nothing worked and then later I practiced these exercises for 10 days and I am feeling much much better and I can feel that pain is slowly getting away from me. These practices cure who have severe upper neck pain. Thank you very much for this video.

Am a therapist and two tennis balls in a sock padded up to give pressure will help separate the vertebrae. This can be used anywhere on the spine. One on either side tied right together.

I want to compliment on this short tutorial but I also want you to know that I have watched plenty before, this one is 8/10.

Best video ever Thank you. I saw videos lasting 1:00 hr and useless to people. Talking talking idiotic things and not actions

[hewolf]

When you show us the upper neck and how bones designed I felt deeply of the creator almighty

I don’t have neck pain but I’m going to incorporate these exercises as a preventative measure. And also so that I don’t forget them lol. Thank you
