The doctor did say that if these meds do not bring relief soon, she wants the physical therapist to see me. It's only started in the last 2 weeks so I think it was one particular exercise class I took.Pink in a sea of bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530416819202521068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686894485181719830.post-59483478758887459832010-02-17T15:11:52.146-05:002010-02-17T15:11:52.146-05:00In my experience as a physical therapist, most hea...In my experience as a physical therapist, most headaches and neck pain are due to the shoulder blades sitting too low on the trunk. I know this may sound odd but, to put it simply, there are muscles attaching from the shoulder blade directly to the first four neck vertebrae and skull. When the shoulders sit too low, these muscles then pull on the neck bones and skull causing neck pain and headaches.<br />Here's a quick, simple test to see if this is a contributing cause of your headaches. If you're having right-sided neck pain or headaches, raise your right hand and place it flat on top of your head for 20 seconds. Make sure your head doesn't side-bend or rotate to achieve this. If your pain diminished after this test, then your scapula may be sitting too low causing your discomfort. This is easily correctable. This is also the culprit in diagnoses such as thoracic outlet syndrome and carpal tunnel syndrome. I've just written a book about fixing neck pain and headaches using an approach based on this mechanical connection to the shoulder and neck. It has been very effective over the last few years and I think is worth a try if you haven’t found the answers you are seeking.<br />I’ve also posted this and another test on YouTube, if you’re interested.<br /><br />Rick OldermanUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11881639639013035043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686894485181719830.post-40114088468802850262010-02-17T12:24:42.460-05:002010-02-17T12:24:42.460-05:00So sorry to hear you are in pain.
