Neck Pain Las Vegas - Henderson Back Pain

People suffering from neck pain in Las Vegas commonly ask, "how do I stretch my neck?". Most people in Las Vegas have neck pain, and that neck pain is usually in the back of the neck, and so that's the area that they typically stretch. However, there are muscles all around our neck - on the front, on the side, and on the back - and it is very important to stretch all the muscles in the neck. The best way to do that is to sit in a chair where you can grab the edge of the chair. Grab the edge of the chair and just lean to the opposite side. The hand that is hold the chair is just holding your shoulder down. Lean to the opposite side and tilt your head to that side. This part of the stretch is going to stretch the middle muscles (the side muscles of the neck). While you're in this position, look down and you'll start feeling it in the back of your neck - which is probably where your pain is. Hold that for 20 seconds, and then look up (still leaning to the side and tilting your head to the side). That's going to stretch the front muscles in your neck.

Hold each of those positions for about 20 seconds. 20 seconds on the side, 20 seconds looking down, and 20 seconds looking up. Do that on both sides. This will help you stretch your neck muscles very well and get rid of the neck pain Las Vegas residents usually have.

One question about back pain Las Vegas that I get asked all the time is "what's a good stretch for my low-back pain?" That's a really good question, and what I've found is that there are two muscles that can create a lot of low-back pain, common in Las Vegas, and that is your glut muscles, and your piriformis muscle. Your piriformis muscle is just below the glut muscles. I'm going to give you two different ways to stretch these two muscles.

The first, and most effective way, is to lay down on your back (this is done most commonly on your bed). Lay down, grab one knee, and pull it up to your chest. As you stretch this muscle, you'll feel it stretching in the middle of your glut muscle. Hold that for about 20 seconds, and then pull that knee across your body to the other side, and that's where you're going to feel it more on the side, which is stretching your piriformis muscle. Hold that for 30 seconds. Do that on both sides.

That's the best way to stretch these muscles, but you're not always close to a bed, or a place that you can lay down and do this stretch. If you're at work, and you're getting that tight low-back, you can also do it in your chair. Just cross your leg onto your other leg, and then pull that knee up to your chest. And that, once again, is going to stretch your butt-muscles (the glut and the piriformis). Another way is to sit up straight, with your leg crossed over your other knee. Keep your back nice and straight, and then just lean straight forward. That's going to stretch the same area (the glut and piriformis muscles). That's going to loosen up that low-back pain, and help you manage your low-back pain in Las Vegas.

80% of people in Henderson, NV will experience back pain at some point in their lives and need to visit a Henderson chiropractor. Many people are commonly misled to believe that going to a medical doctor's office is the only way to relieve this pain. At a medical doctor's office you'll receive pain medication and muscle relaxers. Those do a great job of covering up the symptoms you're experiencing, but they don't do anything to fix the problem in your body that is causing the pain.

When you go to a Henderson chiropractor's office, they will perform an examination, they'll take x-rays, and they'll be able to uncover exactly what is going on in your body - what is causing the pain. Once they find that out, they'll be able to perform different types of treatment to correct those problems, so that they fix the problem and the pain will go away through the correction, instead of just covering it up with the pain medication. A Henderson chiropractor will do treatments to fix the problems so the back and neck pain will go away forever.
