You just said the entire reason why your neck hurts. Stress.

There are three types of stress that affect the body: chemical stress, physical stress and emotional stress, all of which can create nerve interferences that result in neck pain.

Emotional stress includes worrying over finances, grief, anger or frustration that results in tension in the body, particularly in any areas that are already weakened or overworked – like the neck and lower back. This tension amounts to tight muscles, which can irritate the nerves and produce the pain in your neck.

Chiropractic is a safe, 100% natural, totally medication-free, non-invasive approach to healing nerve disturbances in the body, just like those that cause neck pain. Chiropractic’s success with neck issues is a large part of the reason chiropractic is the most well-respected alternative approach to healing throughout the world.

Other ways are to sleep with a towel rolled up under your neck. This way your neck keeps it's proper alignment.


I had issues with this. Notice when you have neck pain.... are your shoulders relaxed? Probably not. They are more than likely up by your ears!! Keep reminding yourself to relax and DROP your shoulders. :)
