Why do I sleep until my neck hurts.

In general, neck pain when sleeping at night may be caused by muscle strain, cervical spondylosis, soft tissue injury, etc., and patients can take medication, daily care, diet and other methods**. The details are as follows:

1.Muscle strain: Muscle strain is a chronic and repeated accumulation of microscopic injuries, long-term strenuous exercise, fatigue, bowing the head and other reasons may make the neck muscles contract, easy to lead to muscle spasms, and neck pain when sleeping at night.

Patients can use indomethacin capsules, diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets and other drugs under the guidance of doctors**, and patients should pay attention to rest, combine work and rest, and avoid overwork.

2.Cervical spondylosis: Cervical spondylosis is a condition based on degenerative pathology.

Long-term cervical strain, cervical spine trauma, poor lifestyle habits and other reasons may lead to cervical spondylosis, which may cause neck pain when the patient sleeps at night after compressing the nerves. Patients can seek medical attention in a timely manner, and can also use drugs such as ibuprofen tablets and cefradine dispersible tablets** under the guidance of doctors, which is conducive to improving related symptoms.

3.Soft tissue injury: If the patient has recently suffered an external blow to the neck, it may lead to neck soft tissue injury, aseptic inflammatory reaction, poor blood circulation when resting at night, and neck pain is prone to occur.

Patients can use diclofenac sodium liniment, amoxicillin tablets and other drugs under the guidance of doctors**, and patients should strengthen nutrition and eat a high-protein, easy-to-digest diet in moderation.

Certain bad habits in daily life and work are the cause of neck and shoulder soreness, such as typing or working on a computer terminal, frequent long hours of reading, or playing mahjong for long periods of time. Neck muscles are affected by these habits for a long time, causing neck pain by protruding the head forward, disrupting normal posture. The following is a simple set of shoulder and neck exercises, the movements should be gentle, the breathing should be natural, and each movement can be repeated 3 to 5 times:

Take a slow, deep breath and turn your head to the left to look at your left shoulder, then to your right shoulder. Then retract the chin back and forth to relax the neck muscles. Raise your shoulders toward your ears, straighten your back, and sag your shoulders as low as possible. Move your shoulders in a circular motion, first lifting your shoulders and turning them forward, then turning them backwards.

Sit with your hands flat on your thighs, slowly lower your chin to your chest, then turn your head in a circle from left to right and from right to left, inhale deeply and exhale loudly to make your head and neck feel comfortable in a slow turn. Don't worry if you have a crackling sound, it's just the sound of muscles or ligaments grazing against bones as they stretch. Tilt your head to your left shoulder, place your left hand over the top of your head to the right of your head, and place your other hand on your right shoulder; Then try to pull your head to the left very gently; Tilt your head to your right shoulder and do the same.

If you feel too much pressure on your hands, you can simply go to the hospital with severe pain, inconvenience at work, and multiple trips to the hospital**. After reading the massage book, when it comes to the method of stiff neck, each book is different, which can be summarized as massaging Tianqiu, Tianchi, dumb door, Tianling, shoulder Yu, shoulder well, Bingfeng, or mastoid process, hair back, hand Sanli, etc. In my practice, the lower part of the stump is the best acupuncture point.

Acupressure is used to remove the disease. If it is combined with the above acupuncture points, the effect is more ideal. When someone falls stiff, use this method many times, and the effect is also good.

Causes of neck pain include: improper head and neck posture during sleep; The pillow is cushioned too high, inappropriately soft or uneven; neck trauma; Neck cold by wind; If it is caused by cervical spondylosis, it can be repeatedly "stiff neck". The first four can be alleviated by removing **.

5) Auricular acupuncture: The auricular acupuncture points are buried in the neck and occipital area, and the above auricular acupoints are pressed with the tip of the index finger for 5 10 minutes, or the above auricular acupoints are massaged with the tip of the index finger. (6) Acupuncture:

Those who can't pitch back and forth take Dashu, Jinggu acupoint, Kunlun acupoint; Those who can't look back left and right should take the shoulder outside Yu, Houxi, and Fengchi acupoints.
