Suffering with Neck Pain and Shoulder Tension?

Who doesn't suffer from neck discomfort?  How about stress or tension across the shoulders?  You most likely sit all day at a desk or in front of a computer.  On top of that, you might be carrying a pocket book or brief case over your shoulder for a period of time.  Who doesn't experience stress and it just seems to center right around the neck and shoulders.

With neck and shoulder problems, a lot of people also suffer with numbness and tingling or headaches.  Neck problems can lead t many other long term problems.

It is important to have an experience doctor evaluate the underlying conditions, but a simple home stretching program can help in relieving some of the tension.  In our Freehold chiropractic office, we show all of our patients basic stretching.  These stretches not only help relieve the pain, but help maintain and prevent future problems.  Watch our short video explaining how to do the stretching:  Home Stretching Neck and Shoulders
