I do have great amount of concern for my clients who suffer from neck pain. I know the problems of neck pain as I myself suffered from neck pain.

I've always been a positive upbeat person but I will admit that after living with chronic neck pain and associated side affects like headaches, even I wanted to throw in the towel more than once.

If you are frequently experiencing headaches as a result of neck pain, one clear indicator will be stiffness or pain in the posterior neck muscles (back of the neck).

Generally these types of headaches are mild to severe with no throbbing sensation. The pain is generally alleviated when pressure is applied to the neck muscles. Pain generally lasts between a few hours and a few days.

But sometimes it can spread to both sides of the head. Generally it pains only on one side of the head and the shoulder of the same side rarely.

Other symptoms that are reported are nausea, vomiting, dizziness, blurred vision on the side of the headache, difficulty swallowing and sensitivity to light and sound. In rare cases headache might increase and symptoms of migraine can happen.

A forward extension of the head with rounded back is called a poor posture. Poor posture, over use of neck muscles and stress are the major reason that causes neck pain.

Take a moment while you are reading this article and notice your posture. Is it the very posture I just referred to above?

These days, there's very few of us who don't spend at least a couple of hours per day on the computer. This is unique with users of computer

How could this be? Think about positioning a bowling ball on top of your head. If your posture is perfectly correct, this would be no problem. Now lean forward just a few inches - it's now nearly impossible! Don't underestimate just how heavy your head is in relation to the neck that's supporting it.

This is not gender biased I just wanted you to watch How many men compared to women tend to stand with their shoulders straight and head up? Women are much affected with neck related headache as the report 4 times as much as men.

Neck related headaches can be avoided by using an ergonomic chair if you use more of computer's and correcting one's posture.

Sometimes though, as in my case, my neck pain was caused by trauma and I was therefore, compensating by using other muscles including jaw muscles and shoulder muscles.

This is the main reason why I endorse my natural neck pain program. It does not involve any strain and the exercises are simple to do and it does not injure neck muscles that you are trying take relief.
