There are many people that deal with neck pain, if not once, then many times in their life. The pain can be caused by a variety of reasons. Anything from sleeping in the wrong position which can cramp the neck muscles, to a serious car accident can trigger the constant pain in the neck and upper back, sometimes including the shoulders.

Be sure to discuss the painful condition to your doctor. Neck and jaw pain can often mean there is a more serious condition that needs to be diagnosed. For example, jaw and neck pressure and pain can often mean heart problems in some women. These pains are not necessary a sure sign of heart problems, but it is a significant sign that should be reported to a doctor immediately.

When the neck is injured in a vehicle accident, medical attention is required immediately. This can be a sign of the painful condition known as whip lash and is the most common injury to those that have been hit from behind. The violent and sudden jolt causing the neck muscles and bones to be jarred, causing them to become very sore for sometimes weeks on end.

In some accidents, the neck injuries are so severe; the patient may never recover from the spinal damage. This often leaves the patient paralyzed because of the damage to the spinal column or broken bones in the vertebrae in the neck area. Many that have severe damage may never be able to walk or talk again. Some are very aware of their surroundings but are unable to verbally communicate with others.

The deterioration of the neck bones can cause severe pain in the neck region. Arthritis is often the common reason that bones lose the cushion in between them, often causing the bones to rub. This is very common in the neck because throughout our lives, we are constantly moving our head, causing friction in the neck bones.

Muscle tightness can often be the cause of pains in the neck and back. This is usually caused by stress and tension. This condition can easily be helped by getting frequent massages. Most doctors will prescribe a medication that has a muscle relaxer and a pain reliever. Ask your doctor about other methods and medication that can reduce stress that causes the pain.

Transforming Our Behaviors For Massive Change!

Feb 3

Posted by Dr. Shaun Stuto in back pain | No Comments

Today I made a conscious decision to get out of my comfort zone and REALLY mix things up! Normally I train at an overcrowded, low-energy 24 hour fitness. It is just a gym to me and nothing special beyond that.

Golds Gym Venice is a 45 minute drive from my home so I decided to forgo the usual cardio at 24 Hour and take advantage of living so close to the Mecca. I could feel the difference the moment I walked in. The energy was so tangible you could slice it with a knife. The gym is frequented by bodybuilders, actors/actresses, athletes and normal folks who want to train at the most notable gym on the planet.

Today was just a cardio day. I warmed up for a few minutes on the treadmill and to my left was actor Ray Liotta! Cool! After warming up, I decided to do elliptical instead of treadmill and moved across the room, giving me a different vantage point. Right in front of me there is well known Bodybuilder Dennis James with legendary trainer Charles Glass pumping away. Then Stone Cold Steve Austin goes walking by! Is this place for real? I’m not star struck. It did feel strange though to be surrounded by so many well known folk’s all inside the same room. An old friend from college, and pro-bowler, Brendan Ayanbadejo came up and chatted for a few minutes. I hadn’t seen him in 5 years. The trip to Gold’s was worth it already! On the way out, I see Tito Raymond training a client and Shawn Ray and Lonnie Teper coming in to do a shoot for Ironman magazine’s preview of the upcoming Arnold Classic. What a start to the day!

This is not a TMZ story about celebrity sitings. The story proves that breaking out of the “ordinary” routine offers up the possibility of “extraordinary” occurrences in life. Hold that thought…

After leaving the gym, I went for breakfast at the Firehouse, a famous bodybuilders diner just walking distance from Golds Venice. The menu is “bodybuilder” friendly and has outstanding food. Egg whites and oatmeal were on the menu for me because I was keeping things clean. On my way back to my truck, I stopped off at Max Muscle owned by Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler. There was another adventure in store for me and I did not want to miss a meal, so I purchased 3 meal replacements.

Bound for Hollywood, I left Venice. I drove up Sunset Blvd and past Mel’s Diner, The Standard, Saddleranch and other famous locales. I continued on up into the foothills and arrived at the trail head for the world famous Hollywood sign. This is the most photographed and well known landmark in Hollywood. Why had I never been?

I set out on an hour long hike to get up close and personal with the sign, carrying only a camera and bottle of water. I have only hiked a few times in my life and not for many years. I certainly do not claim to be a hiker. Wow did those hills feel amazing on my legs though. The weather was sunny and the sky was crisp and blue. The incredible weather seemed to warm me from the inside out. How thrilling it was to be up there! I even took my shirt off and worked on my tan since the weather was so nice. Keep in mind that this is February. How many places on earth can you feel warm enough to jog without a shirt at this time of the year?

I jogged and hiked to as close as legally possible to the sign. I proudly took a few pictures with the famed sign in the background before turning to head back. I discovered that trail running is not easy, and it is definitely not a treadmill. I toughed it out and jogged all the way to the bottom of the hill and my legs are sore now!

I thought of a great lesson today taught to me in a personal development seminar. The speaker admitted that the habits which enabled him to become a multi-millionaire were keeping him from becoming a billionaire. What a re-frame! This man has tremendous financial success and he understands and admits that the actions which allowed him to become highly successful in the eyes of most are keeping him from the next level.

I have never been a hiker nor would I have ever been interested in hiking in the past. What if the difference between an ultra-fit person and the average Joe was only one hike per month? I never would have known because it wasn’t my habit. The concept is lets look at all areas of our lives and see how we can shake them up even more.

Respected businessman and billionaire Bill Gates struggles with creativity at times like any other human. He once drove a different route home from work each day for an entire year and never repeated himself. New neural pathways literally formed in his brain from the forced behavior and lead to massive changes in his personal and professional life.

For you this could mean, trying new foods, spices or a different running route. Maybe a new gym or new workout partner. Perhaps not eating the same thing twice in a week/month etc… to force yourself to really develop a long list of foods and meals that you enjoy. What a great way to help guarantee long-term fitness success and ultimately transformation!

A mind once expanded can never contract to its original size. The actions, attitudes and behaviors that got you where you are today are almost certainly holding you back from what you really want. The people who excel at something you would like to behave much differently than you and use time differently than you. Bill Phillips is a famous entrepreneur and mega-millionaire. In the movie he created 10 years ago, Body Of Work, he explained how he once dreamed of owning a red Lamborghini. It was the pinnacle of success for him. Once he set his mind on it, he changed his attitude and behaviors to materialize the car and attain “success” as he had defined it. The red Lamborghini turned into a stepping stone and new starting point for much greater financial success later in his life.

For all of you, everything begins in thought. Whether you want a better body, to look younger, vibrant health, an attractive mate etc…you must apply the information and strategies discussed. We have discussed a lot of strategy and given great examples of changing things up in your life can bring about dramatic changes. Doesn’t the process seem easier now?

Have an AWESOME DAY!
