The work I have sedentary and sit all day with a tilted head. Swollen neck - do about the slopes and continue to work, not knowing that it was only small bells, from who brush aside like an annoying fly.
As a result, in the 45 years I earned a cervical osteochondrosis. The tension in the back and the pain when turning head - essentially poisoned my life, so I decided not to hope for a miracle, but to act.
I must say, to a neurologist I do not pay, I went to his assistants, learned her diagnosis and she developed a treatment program itself.
Every morning I started with neck warm. I found on the Internet Shishonina technique, which is very easy to implement and has a lot of positive feedback. If the picture is not clear to exercise his technique can be easily found on YouTube.
In order not to be late for work and did not miss a day of charging the neck, I had to put the alarm for 30 minutes earlier. But it's worth it.
In the evening before going to sleep I first put her on the neck itself pepper patch, but later my aunt (also a nurse) advised me to pour a bottle of hot water tolerant, to put it as a neck roll and roll. It turns warming and massage at the same time.
After the massage greased neck and upper back with a mixture of olive (available sunflower) oil and salt (50 mL: 5 tablespoons) and then tucked up the back and neck and so woolen scarf lay in bed.
Improvements I felt already on the third day of the regular procedures, and after 1.5 weeks forgot the pain.
But, it is important to remember that the stage of cervical degenerative disc disease are different, as well as its treatment. Therefore, before using any medication, you should consult with your doctor.
