Publisher's Synopsis
Neck pain can occur in various diseases such as arthritis, spondylosis of the cervical spine, rheumatism, hernia and, in the case of pain that spreads to the upper extremities, neuritis or neuralgia. Most of us have lifelong repeated neck pain or pain that spreads from the neck to the shoulders, to the shoulder blade and down the arm to the hand. Symptoms of violations in the cervical region can be tingling and numbness of the fingers. Some people have headaches associated with neck problems. These pains are usually not constant. There are times during the day and even whole days when there is no pain. Symptoms can appear spontaneously, often for no apparent reason, and disappear anyway. When the pains are persistent, they are felt to varying degrees throughout the day. People who suffer from constant pain often need to take medications. Although pain is rarely the reason for absenteeism, these cases do occur. Much more often, pain interferes with the full life of people, forcing them to limit their activity in order not to aggravate the painful manifestations. Therefore, neck pain can negatively affect our usual way of life. If you have these problems, you have probably noticed that the symptoms of the condition last for months and even years. You may be convinced that treatment can eliminate the pain, but after a while another exacerbation occurs. Perhaps you are reading this book because, despite this provide you with highly qualified assistance. Either way, you will likely find that many of the treatments prescribed are designed to eliminate current symptoms and are not intended to prevent disease in the future. As time goes by, you may again need help relieving neck pain. It would be great if you could act alone at the first signs of illness. But it is even better to maintain a system that fully protects you from the onset of pain in that area. Only in the past ten to fifteen years have methods been discovered that allow a person to self-monitor the condition of their spine. Unfortunately, until recently, this information was not widely disseminated, as every new idea in medicine must prove its effectiveness. Only official results contribute to the mass introduction of the new into practice. The methods I will talk about have been used by doctors in many countries of the world since the early 1970s and in most cases they get good results. One of the main purposes of this book is to show that no one but you can effectively maintain the condition of your spine. If for some reason the disease has advanced, you need to learn what to do with certain manifestations of the disease and how to prevent its development. Active self-administration and prevention measures will have a longer lasting effect than other types of therapy.
