Neck and Back Pain Natural Treatment

Neck pain from being cramped, from sitting in a draft, or that which follows a virus infection, may be treated with a fever treatment in a bathtub, bringing the mouth temperature up to 101degrees for about 10 minutes. After an hour of reacting in bed, apply an upper half body pack to the base of the skull. Shape the upper edge of the pack to the curve of the neck and up beside the ears. Leave it in place 20 to 25 minutes. Finish off either of these hot treatments with a brief cold mitten friction or cool shower. Massage the neck and shoulders to well below the bottom edge of the shoulder blades and far out on the sides with firm upward strokes until the pain and muscle spasms are gone.Spastic muscles are recognised because they are tighter than nearby muscles and have a 'mass - of -tight cords' consistency.

Next, stand at the head of the treatment table, patient face up and fully relaxed by the treatment. With your left hand on the left jaw and your right hand on the right temple, turn the head to full extension to the left, patient looking over the left shoulder. Then give the head a gentle but continued turn to the left, using a little pressure on the right temple to hyperextend the head about one inch beyond its natural stopping place. There should usually be no cracking sound heard. Repeat on the opposite side. This treatment loosens the pressure on the base of the skull, increases the circulation to the tendons and joints of the entire neck, and reflexively increases lymph drainage. All of these tend to relax spastic muscles.
