Hi All,
Someone recently asked a question: "Is it possible that my back pain can be a result of negative emotions?"
The answer is absolutely!
Stress, fears, worry, anxiety and all sorts of negative emotions can cause chronic neck & back pain. In fact, even if you've been in an car accident - where it's clear that some element of pain is a direct result of the physical experience - the trauma of the accident could significantly contribute to the emotional aspect of pain.
Depression, Anxiety and Stress Often Accompany Chronic Back and Neck Pain Conditions: "Depression, anxiety and stress come with the chronic pain territory. Researchers estimate that accompanying depression and anxiety occur in 20% to 50% of patients with chronic pain. If you experience chronic pain, your emotions and moods may be strongly influenced by the underlying physiology associated with your condition."
By simply working with your emotions using a few simple techniques (such as hypnosis, energy tapping, neuro-linguistic programming, and more ...) you can drastically eliminate or find significant neck and back pain relief.
... in addition to pain relief, the very act of performing an emotional clearing can add massive amounts of additional benefits in your life (less stress, more happiness).
To your great health!

Neck & Back Pain | The Body's Natural Ability to Heal
Hi All ...
Here's something to think about ...
Neck Pain and Back Pain Relief: Proven Treatment Solutions:
"Somewhere along the journey of life, people lost sight of the body’s unique and powerful ability to heal oneself and, rather than listening to the body – we’ve been duped into thinking that the only way to ‘heal back pain’ is to take toxic medication or have dangerous surgeries.
Modern medicine is helpful and necessary in countless situations. However, its biggest downfall is the constant disregard of the natural healing ability of the body. So much time, money and research is spent looking for outside solutions, when most healing solutions come from within. Need a reminder of how your body heals itself?
Scabs are the most visual reminder that we have as humans as to the body’s amazing ability to heal itself.
However, there exists a perverse and false belief that, though small cuts and bruises are easily healed, anything larger is outside of our natural healing abilities and requires medical attention."
To your great health,
Charlie

Neck and Shoulder Pain: Everyday Tips for Pain Free Living
Hi All,
In general, we've found the following article very helpful and a valuable read.
One thing that I believe the article neglected to mention was that neck pain can also be caused by nutritional factors (such as - did you know hydrogenated oils can often cause neck pain?), emotional factors (ever notice your body getting tight when you get stressed?) and, of course, physical factors (posture, injury and accidents are the most common).
Regardless, I believe the following link will give you a great understanding of some 'common sense' tips for prevention and neck pain relief.
HEALTHbeat extra: 8 Tips to ease neck and shoulder pain: "Do your neck and shoulders feel stiff when you awake in the morning? Or do they seize painfully with no warning? If so, you have plenty of company. Doctors estimate that seven out of 10 people will be troubled by neck pain at some point in their lives, often causing daily aching in the neck and shoulder area.
Sometimes pain starts with the bang of a rear-end collision, but more often, the neck and its surrounding structures begin to ache after years of normal use, overuse, and misuse. Without knowing it, you may be encouraging neck and shoulder pain by the way you perform everyday activities. In general, try to keep your neck in a neutral position, which means your head balances directly over your shoulders and is not leaning forward or cocked to one side."
To your great health,
Charlie

Stop & Prevent Neck Pain
Greetings Everyone,
I stumbled across this article on neck pain and I thought that you might find some great value reading it.
Most of the industrialized world with experience back and neck pain - the Harvard Medical School Advisor offers great advice for getting rid of neck pain using some very basic postural / lifestyle adjustments with powerful results.
The Harvard Medical School Adviser: Stop that pain in the neck pain - The Daily Journal:
"* Talking on the phone. If you spend a lot of time on the phone, don't lean your head to one side to hold the phone on your shoulder. Instead, use a headset or speakerphone, which will help keep your head in a neutral position -- and your hands free for other tasks. Headsets are available for both your desk phone and cell phone.
* Reading or writing at your desk. When you're reading, sit up straight and hold the document, book or report up so that you don't need to bend over. Or use a document holder to prop up the material. You can put papers on a slanted board raised slightly off the desk to keep them at a comfortable reading angle. For writing, adjust your chair so you don't need to bend over.
* Reading at home. Try to maintain an upright posture when you sit in a chair. Hold your book so that you don't have to lean down or forward to see it. Putting the book on a pillow in your lap may help. If you read in bed, sit up straight or use a wedge-shaped pillow to support your back.
* Wearing bifocals. The bottom portion of bifocals or progressive lenses corrects close-up vision, but that means you must bend your head to see the ground while walking or climbing stairs. Consider purchasing a pair of 'walking glasses' that have your distance prescription without bifocal lenses. When you need to focus on medium distances, such as at a computer screen, you're likely to need an intermediate correction, which bifocals don't have. Investing in a pair of single-vision glasses with the appropriate prescription for computer work can help prevent eye and neck strain. Alternatively, you may be able to move your monitor and adjust the font size of text on the screen so you can read it while looking through the upper half of your bifocals."
Wishing you all the best,
Charlie
