Neck pain is the second most common Musculo-skeletal issue after lower back pain. The main causes are poor posture, tension and moving awkwardly in bed, and the homeopathic advice in this blog entry applies to these less complicated origins.
The homeopathic remedies that come up immediately with Musculo-skeletal problems are completely relevant for the neck – so Arnica, Rhus Toxicodendron and Ruta are straightaway of use. Add to this the awesome remedy Bambusa Arundinacea, which comes from Bamboo. Picture the plant bamboo and then picture the human spine and you can straightaway see the connection. Bambusa is a brilliant remedy for the spine in general, but particularly for the neck so I add Bambusa to the last three remedies I mentioned in a combination remedy to ease pain and speed healing.
A lot of people tend to put their stress into their neck and shoulders – as stress builds, people’s shoulder rise higher and higher to their ears, and with that comes the pain. Different homeopathic remedies can help with that general tendency alongside the neck pain remedies I described above.
Pilates is a brilliant adjunct to address long-term neck pain that is connected with poor posture.
Please note that neck pain can also be related to such issues as whiplash, arthritis or disc issues, in which cases, a different homeopathic approach will be required. Get in touch for further information.
