Treatment Resistant Neck Pain - Try This!
I treat what I call the "I have failed everything patients" meaning most come in totally frustrated that no one can truly help them or tell them what's wrong. I see mechanical issues all day (SI jt/sacral) but also see mainly women with neck pain that has been treatment resistant.
Years ago, I realized doing exercises are not going to relax the hypertonicity they had. What would cause that? STRESS! Everyone was focusing on the muscular system (massages, injections, skeletal muscle relaxers) but it would return which means the root cause was being missed! What controls the muscular system? The nervous system! I started calming down the nervous system and their neck hypertonicity would relax. Root cause vs. treating symptoms.
Grounding pillow cases (23$ on Amazon)
CBD ( a good one) 3x a day that the patient FEELS relaxed at 2.5 hours (not tired)
I usually can get their neck tension down 50% just with that protocol! I don't treat necks without doing this. Neck pain is a 2 dimensional issue for me, stress and postural/ mechanical. I rarely feel worried about my neck pain patients getting better!
