Arthritis Neck Pain - Quick Home Remedies for Arthritic Neck Pain

There are many different ways to deal with arthritis neck pain. Before you look for methods and treatments options for arthritis neck pain, it is important to understand the cause of the pain. The pain is caused by damage to any of the cartilages which connect the neck all the way to the cervical spine. The damage results in cervical spine or neck problems and as it progresses you will have to deal with arthritis neck pain. Choosing the right treatment can reduce the pain significantly.

The best remedy for arthritis neck pain is a neck surgery. You can reduce the pain through physical therapy. Relief from the pain is only if you are willing to put in the required effort. Not doing anything about the pain will only make it more severe. According to studies, sedentary people are more prone to arthritis than those with an active lifestyle.

The first and most important step in getting relief from arthritis neck pain is to take action, stop doing nothing and adopt a more active lifestyle. There are a number of exercises and other physical therapies which you can use to build a regimen and such a regimen will give you effective relief from pain and stiffness. Get yourself an appointment with a professional therapist who can teach you the right way to do the exercises. A physical therapist can also tell you which exercises will work best for your condition. Here are some other methods to help you reduce arthritis neck pain.

Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy combines heat, air and water. A hot tub can do wonders for you; it reduces neck pain significantly and also comforts your body. The body weight is reduced to almost nothing which takes the pressure off. The water and air give the body a good massage. Your doctor will tell you everything you need to know about hydrotherapy such as the ideal water temperature for your body. Many people suffering from arthritis also use the water to exercise as the water warms up the muscles and the body for the exercise routine.

Posture exercises: Physical therapy can be combined with posture exercises to give you significant pain relief. Poor posture will only aggravate the neck pain due to arthritis. All you need is an exercise ball and a set of exercise bands.

Massage: A good massage therapy increases mobility, flexibility and circulation which in turn reduce the pain. Apply a small amount of biofreeze to affected area. BIOFREEZE is a great topical analgesic gel which works by increasing blood flow and circulation to the area.

Arthritis meds: There are a variety of pain killers in the market which can help reduce arthritis neck pain. But consider medication only after you have tried every other method. They may have side effects so you must consult a professional before using any medication to avoid making the pain worse.

Improving the State of Your Arthritic Bones

The maintenance of bones is a priority for arthritis patients

If you develop complex regional pain syndrome or reflex sympathetic dystrophy, the maintenance of your bone structure will be a matter for serious consideration. Likewise the development of foot pain or fibromyalgia will require a lot more than swallowing a few pills. In cases of joint hypermobility, the focus will be on restoration. Children that develop juvenile idiopathic arthritis will need early intervention to prevent them from developing serious knee pain. There are various sources of calcium and therefore you have choices in terms of the foods that you will include in your diet. If you are desperate, there are some cheap supplements on the market at the moment.

Osteoporosis patients have no alternative but to take foods which are fortified with calcium. It has been found that inflammatory arthritis tends to increase bone loss. That is where the patient will get smaller as the condition develops. The health experts recommend that adults have about one thousand milligrams of calcium on a daily basis. If you are over 50 years of age then you should aim for a slightly increased requirement of 1200 mg per day. Milk is a great source of calcium but there are also other milk products which can help you. For example you might take ice cream (as a treat), cheese and yoghurt.

When you are cooking, it might be advisable to add powdered milk to your gravies or puddings. Likewise you should fortify your shakes with supplements as well as powdered milk. Broccoli and Kale are excellent sources of calcium. You should eat salmon with the bones intact. The processed tins tend to soften the bones so that you will not have problems chewing them. In addition to all these dietary measures you need to take your medication at the earliest opportunity. The side effects need to be reported to the doctor so that they can make adjustments.

Gentle exercise has the effect of strengthening your bones. Unfortunately arthritis patients are worried about their joints. The treadmill should be used sparingly. However you should make an effort to swim on a regular basis. This is a form of exercise that will give your bones movements and yet they do not have the strain of carrying your body weight. It is an ideal situation where you are trying to improve your general mobility. Likewise you need to ensure that you take regular breaks to relieve the bones.

Most Arthritic Pain REMOVED By The Process That Caused It!

Do You Want To Be Free Of Your Pain?

My goal here is to share with you a powerful form of therapeutic coaching that top athletes are already aware of.

Here is my basic idea of pain, see if you agree…

Pain or chronic discomfort is the body’s way of telling you something needs attention. You drop something on your foot and the pain is instant. The central nervous system (CNS) sends a message at hyper-speed to your mind, which does lots of things very quickly at this point but the main thing you get is the registration of PAIN! Followed in many cases by a few well chosen words (depending on who’s in ear shot).

Pain is the mind responding to signals from your CNS letting you know there is some sort of damage or disruption to your body. If you get a dent in your new car you take it to a body shop, if you have engine problems you take it to a mechanic. But unlike cars our engine comes in TWO parts…Mind & Body.

What many people tend not to recognise is that pain can also be subtle; it can get more intense over various amounts of time depending on what the cause is. Remember pain is the signal or message from your mind telling you that something is wrong. It may well be that the cause of the pain signal being sent has its roots deeper than the physical symptoms outwardly observed by you or anyone else. Pain reduction pills can only do so much since all that is really going on is the temporary interruption of the pain signal. In many if not all cases….”This does nothing to remove or deal with the cause of the pain signal.”

I am not sure why we evolved into a race of people who less than 500 years ago would have listened to their body and acted accordingly to heal the mind and body and move on. Today all there seems to be is a heavy leaning towards suppressing the pain (signal) and doing nothing about the actual problem. Giving a type of pain (signal) a label or name does not make the problem go away on the contrary if allowed to persist it will take up residence in the mind of the recipient and resist all attempts at removing the “idea” thus condemning the “believer” to a life of pain…Is this you?

What you are actually doing is suppressing the bodies signaling system to let you know you have to fix something. If you dampen this message that your body is trying to send you eventually, the pain will impinge on other areas of your life, perhaps affecting your sleep, walking up or down stairs or simply unscrewing a lid from a jar. This will continue until you address and resolve the underlying issues and deal with the cause – the true cause.

Unfortunately, most doctors simply don’t have the time to address the mind-body connection or are unaware of the role the mind plays in the creation and cession of pain. When diagnosing, your doctor will look for very specific signs, symptoms, and disease characteristics. He will also consider your medical history, physical examination, blood tests, and imaging studies. The physical examination to try to see any visible signs and symptoms that point to arthritis:

• Redness/warmth around a joint inflammation
• Joint stiffness or tenderness
• Joint fluid or swelling
• Bumps or nodules
• Pattern of affected joints (e.g. symmetric or asymmetric)
• Limited range of motion

A single symptom or a single test result is not enough to diagnose arthritis. Certain symptom patterns and tests are used to rule out specific types of arthritis in order to narrow down the type and preferred treatment which usually involves a course of anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID’s - Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) to reduce the pain.

The word ‘arthritis’ is a label to group together some 100-200 types of arthritis – but what causes the arthritis? Determining the cause of arthritis can be difficult, because often several factors contribute to an individual developing this common problem. We are told it can be Genetics, Age, Weight, Previous injury, Occupational hazards, Illness or Infection or a disease that gradually builds up, or a group of conditions that cause inflammation in the joints gradually destroying the cartilage and bone or simply wear and tear from old age – but could it be something else…

It is widely understood that negative emotions such as: grief, fear, hatred, shame, resentment, anger and stress and various other life issues have an effect on our body. New information is emerging that suggests that negative emotions cause disruption and miscommunication within and between the bodies major healing systems, specifically the lymphatic system (LS) and the CNS leading to a physical breakdown of the body. Doctors are only focusing on the physical aspect of the body, the arthritis, in order to deal with the pain, the symptom, and are completely missing the negative emotions that caused the pain in the first place.

We are constantly told that there is no ‘cure’ for arthritis and this is endorsed by our doctor’s, National Health industry, the national press and media sources. Some doctors actually compound the problem of arthritis and leave the patient with no hope for the future. When asking the doctor what can they expect? They are typically informed that, ‘there is no cure for arthritis… that they’ve got it for life… it’s going to get worse… and eventually, they might have to have major surgery to replace the joint and, in the mean time, only the conventional drugs and medications are available.’ Wow, that’s something to look forward to… but don’t be hard on the doctor’s, they are only confirming what the drug industry dictates.

What if there doesn’t need to be a ‘cure’ for arthritis – only a correction?

When the emotional trauma that is directly linked to the arthritis is dissolved, the body re-establish’s the communication between the CNS and the LS to the site of pain. The LS is the body’s drainage system, and once re-connected is able to eliminate the build-up of excess waste materials, the dead blood, skin and organ cells and all the pollutants and chemicals from food, household cleaners, solvents and petrol etc. through the natural process of elimination. Swelling is automatically reduced, inflammation subsides and the pain goes – naturally.

Although complex and efficient, most of the time, the LS functions just the same as your home drainage system which can, from time to time, go wrong. Imagine what happens when the drain outside your home becomes blocked and you keep flushing the toilet, running the shower and sink and washing machine etc. Eventually, the water backs up the pipe until you find that the water doesn’t drain away or the toilet doesn’t flush properly – now you’ve got a problem and something needs to be done and quickly!

When the blockage is cleared from the drain, it only takes a few moments for the build-up to be flushed clear and a sense of peace and calm returns to the world. And so it is with your body.

When I ask doctor’s how it’s possible to remove the pain they tell me that this is called ‘spontaneous remission,’ it’s not common, it does happen from time to time, and the pain will return. Well, if that is the case, my clients experience spontaneous remission – and months later they are all still pain free. They continue to enjoy a new lease of life, pain free sleep, and have regained a quality of life they thought they had lost.

But what happened to the arthritis? We know that pain is the symptom and arthritis is the cause – the two go together – so we are told. But what happens to the arthritis when we eliminate the pain? Surely, if we have the arthritis then, we must be in pain? The answer is – I don’t know and I don’t think that we even need to know. The doctor’s tell me the person still has the arthritis, but if this is the case it isn’t affecting them at all. They have a full range of movement and flexibility but without the pain. If you have no more pain then, there really is only one question that needs to be asked... “Can the wear and tear on the connective tissue that surrounds the joints be repaired; the cartilage, tendons, ligaments and bones and, the answer to that is – YES.”

When the emotional cause for the arthritis has been addressed and cleared, the body is no longer in turmoil and is free to start repairing and rebuilding the damaged joints. Research shows that the use of supplements will enhance the repair and promote healthier joints faster than by just following an existing diet. Patrick Holford, a World renowned nutritionalist, has developed a tried and tested nutritional diet and support package that reduces and eliminates inflammation and pain and promotes healthy joint growth. The combined elimination of emotional trauma and the nutritional support is an incredibly powerful package that promotes health and well being faster than any other method currently available for treating arthritis.

My method has been so successful in drastically reducing and, in most cases, eliminating arthritic pain altogether without drugs that I am constantly left speechless. It is a magical moment to observe the expression on a person’s face once distorted and wracked with pain and discomfort to suddenly realise they are now pain free, have no discomfort and are able to freely move with no limitation. As well as a decreased level of pain, other benefits are also experienced, including:

• Feeling more calm, relaxed and peaceful and happy
• Greater range of movement and flexibility
• More mobile to go anywhere
• Deeper and better quality of sleep
• Feeling they’ve regained control of life
• Feeling lighter as if a weight or burden has been lifted
• Much more energy

A further article on my website contains all the necessary dietary, nutritional and supplement information required to reduce inflammation and pain and promote the rebuilding and maintenance of the connective tissue surrounding the joint.

If you are still in pain and your current treatment regime is not giving you relief or the quality of life you deserve then, you really need to contact me for a friendly, no obligation chat and see how best to address your concerns. This is a natural arthritis treatment but by all means be scepticle… but don’t be left in pain. Remember, you have nothing to lose – only your pain and, the only side effect from using this method is RESULTS!!

Living With Arthritic Pain – Not Anymore!

Physical pain in the muscles such as fibromyalgia or pain in the spine or joints caused by arthritis, scoliosis, inflammation or swelling is debilitating, restrictive and generally impacts just about every aspect of every moment of daily life for those that suffer. Continuous compensation of movement is required to achieve the most basic of life’s daily requirements. Seldom, are any real or lasting benefits experienced from taking the prescribed drugs and medication. Subsequently, all mental, emotional, physical and spiritual components are also systematically challenged, tortured and compromised.

The relentless assault on the mind, body and spirit drives a person to desperation. Their emotions are aggravated and stretched to the limit until finally they snap, venting their anguish and frustrations on their family because “they don’t understand what they are feeling.” Disrupted sleep patterns drain yet more energy, and feelings of hopelessness and despondency creep in until they become depressed and disillusioned with life. Does this sound familiar?

Grace, aged 84 had extreme arthritic pain for 9 years – read how her life has improved dramatically: When I first met Adrian I was suffering with arthritis in my shoulders, right knee, left ankle and thumbs. The pain was so bad that I couldn’t lift my arms any higher than my shoulders. My thumbs were painful gripping things. My right knee was so swollen it was double the size of the other one and I was unable to kneel down on it, and my left ankle was very swollen and painful.

After just three sessions, I can now lift my arms straight up above my head and wave them around. The swelling in my right knee has gone back to normal and I can kneel on it without pain. My left ankle has no pain and does not swell anymore and my thumbs are not painful either – I feel a whole lot better than I used to! All this was achieved without any drugs or medication.

How many times has it been said that arthritis is “...just one of those things you get as you get older.” “That pain can only be marginal, and that you’ll have to take pain killers or have hours of manipulation or wear a copper bracelet etc. etc.?”

It’s been said a lot and to be honest they all work – to a degree! The trouble is that this constant barrage of negative programming in the papers and on the news creates the belief that there just can’t be any help or resolution to this pain. Get ready to be enlightened, there is another way, a way to significantly reduce the pain, sometimes down to NO pain at all.

Pain is not meant to be managed or masked but acknowledged and dealt with. Pain is simply the body’s natural silent communication system, alerting the conscious mind that something is wrong or out of balance. The body is a complex organism of vibrating energetic frequencies operating and responding in harmony with your thoughts and experiences. Although complex, the body functions like a super-computer, being either switched on or off, strong or weak to any given issue.

Thoughts, emotions and personal experiences make subtle changes to these energetic vibrations at a quantum level, far beyond the conscious or even subconscious levels of the mind.

Peggy, aged 82 had arthritic pain for 34 years in her right hip, knee and foot – read what she had to say: “Having had treatment from Adrian for my arthritic pain, it has made my life so much better for me. I no longer have any pain in my right leg and am walking faster than ever. I wish I had found him before. No one needs to put up with pain so get in touch if you are suffering, Adrian can help you.”
In the Far East pain is known as a symptom of deeper issues. For 1,000’s of years its energetic healers have known that pain is caused by the disrupted flow of energy in the body causing negative physical conditions that manifest as pain. Some area or aspect of life is out of balance and needs to be brought back into balance.

By identifying the core issue, the root cause of the problem and eliminating it by stimulating the body’s own natural energies and healing systems (resetting the switches), it makes it possible to release the physical symptom. In addition to this relief, other emotional issues, fears, phobias and limitations are also dealt with and all this without drugs or medication, tea’s or tinctures, electrical stimulation or physical manipulation.

Richard, had pain from scoliosis in the spine and hip for over 20 years – read what he had to say: A specialist diagnosed me with having scoliosis of the spine following an MRI scan, which I’ve had now for at least 20 years. The scoliosis causes me to lean over to the left where my weight is centered over my left leg, which meant that my right hip was at least an inch higher than my left one. Consequently, my left leg was bigger and stronger than my right.

Pain in my left hip and lower back varies from 6-10, where 10 is the worst pain, and then continues down my left leg to my ankle. The pain is constant and only goes to a 6 when taking pain killers but quickly returns to a 10 when they wear off. I bought an orthopedic bed hoping for some relief but nothing changed and have since come to the conclusion that I have to live with the pain.

Both my elbows were very painful, at least 10 out of 10 on the pain threshold which again eased while taking pain killers until they wore off. Doing daily heavy manual work always intensified the level of pain.

I still cannot believe what Adrian has been able to do for me. Within 5 minutes the pain in my left elbow was gone and drastically reduced in my right elbow. I couldn’t believe it – how was this possible? When the session finished the pain in my hip and left leg was also reduced.

During the next couple of sessions we cleared many life issues quickly and easily. I could gradually feel my back centering and felt more balanced. I also noticed that my right hip was almost level with my left one. I developed pain in both my feet as my body adjusted but again, I was amazed at how quickly Adrian cleared the pain!

I am now free of all pain; even my right hand that was broken and painful trying to shake hands is working perfectly – even though I didn’t mention it! I feel calmer, lighter and more at ease and at peace with myself – I now see things differently.

The body vibrates at different frequencies and all scientists universally agree that everything is made from this energy. It may be hard to believe that the body vibrates at these different frequencies, simply because we cannot see or feel them. But does that mean it’s not possible? Remember once when scientists said that man couldn’t fly, until the Wright brothers proved otherwise or when Roger Bannister said that he would run a mile in under four minutes, everyone believed he was mad until he proved otherwise.

Everything that goes against the current universal belief system is first challenged and ridiculed, then tried and tested and finally accepted. There are other ways, other ways to significantly reduce and eliminate pain...

By all means be sceptical... but don’t be left in pain!
