I am shreya chaturvedi my age is 17. I am suffering from cervical pain from 1 year. How can I heal it at home.

Question

Hi, sad to hear that you have pain in such a young age. Mostly all neck pain and back pain are mechanical in nature that means it is due to poor posture, muscles weakness, aur tightness of muscles which will lead to decrease in range of motion of your neck and causing pain at your neck also sometimes the pain goes down up to your shoulders for arms and also in hands. However in young patient like you it can be easily corrected and pain can be relieve very fast. However we have limitations to guide you through online platform or just writing it down. I would like to suggest you following 1. Put your laptop or mobile phone at eye levels while working or doing work. This will prevent neck flexion which is main cause of pain. 2. Try to sit straight why sitting on a chair for sofa do not allowed also you can put towel roll below your waist so that your spinal cord remains straight while you're sit. 3. You can also do hot water fomentation for 15 minutes three times daily. 4. Most important is a neck retraction exercises you can google it for further detail. Do neck retraction exercises while sitting every 2 hourly try this exercise for a week and if if no improvement then consult nearest physical therapist for further investigation and examination. Hope this will help you. Wishing you speedy recovery. Thank you.
