Chronic Neck Pain
Chronic neck pain is a severe problem for many patients.
Neck pain
is miserable and can hurt throughout the cervical region, including the upper back, neck and head. Long term pain is not only physically debilitating, but can be emotionally draining as well. Neck pain sufferers often have trouble
working,
sleeping
and even concentrating. There is no doubt that lasting cervical symptoms are truly a PAIN IN THE NECK!

Chronic Neck Pain Causes
Neck pain is possible to experience from an
injury
or
degenerative
condition. However, in these circumstances, appropriate medical or complementary therapies will usually cure the pain in a prescribed amount of time. Chronic spinal or
muscle pain
is usually an indicator of a less serious, but more difficult to diagnose
psychologically induced pain syndrome.
Chronic discomfort in the neck is the second most common type of
psychological back pain,
beaten only by chronic lumbar symptoms.
Chronic Neck Pain Relief
Treatments should be effective for physical pain syndromes. It might take a few tries to discover the correct method for your specific condition, but nonetheless, if your pain is indeed caused by a physical, anatomical source, you should recover 100%. Unfortunately,
chronic pain
is very common among patients with cervical symptoms. This long term suffering results when the cause of the pain is not correctly identified by the doctor or the patient. Many patients spend years searching out new potential cures for their pain, only to be disappointed time after time by poor treatment results. If this sounds like your situation, you are not alone... not by a long shot.
Recommendation on Chronic Neck Pain
I experienced recurrent bouts of moderate neck pain during my 18 years suffering with far more severe
lower back pain.
It seems that the neck would often act up as the lower back felt better. My doctors explained this with a variety of nonsensical theories that had me puzzled why I was still under their care. A few of my
chiropractors
really laid it on thick about how they were curing my lumbar area and now the cervical area was “adjusting” to the correct alignment of the spine. Come on, give me a break!!!
After many years, I realized that my pain was not what it seemed to be. Although I did have
herniated discs
and
degenerative disc disease,
these conditions caused me no pain whatsoever. My pain, like most, was the result of a psychosomatic process. Thank God for doctors like
John Sarno,
who opened up my eyes to the truth. I managed to cure my neck and back pain and have lived happily ever after since…
