Neck pain or Cervicalgia, and the Migraine Syndrome
“My neck always hurts. Sometimes it kills me so bad, I cannot think and have to go lie down. It all started when I injured my neck years ago. When I get stressed out it is the worst. Well, it doesn’t take much to stress me out nowadays. It’s always the back of my head and neck. I wish I could cut it out. Then maybe I could think and remember better. The last time I had a massage she said my neck and shoulders were the tightest she had seen in months! Nothing seems to help for any length of time. I’m so frustrated!”
This is a very common presentation of the migraine syndrome. Frequently their problems are compounded by overmedication—either by self-medicating or prescription drugs. Often there is a history of injury to the neck, for example, whiplash. Often they have been to the chiropractor and have been told there neck is so far out of alignment that the curve in the neck is reversed. The curve in the neck is straightened or reversed because of painful spasm. The trigeminal nerve (sensation of the face) and the cervical (neck) nerves are adjacent to each other in the brain stem (the base of the brain). What affects one affects the other. Migraineurs who smoke usually will develop neck problems. It is absolutely essential for the migraineur who smokes to abstain! Smoke is a smell. The sensitivity to the smell is the problem! Also secondhand smoke and perfumes are major problems. The patient can develop extreme sensitivity to stress and after years with frequently develop fibromyalgia.

As obesity and aging issues rage on across America, there is one industry in particular that’s trying to help stop the tide of health-related problems within the country. When people need medical supplies, they naturally look towards medical supply companies. There are many spread out around the country, and they specialize in designing and selling medical supplies to the nation. People know how bad nursing homes can get, or how bad their health can get if they don’t eat right, drink plenty of water, and exercise daily, so they look to a medical supply company to help them in their overall health goals.
Medical supply companies have done a lot to help the elderly and those destined for the nursing home. If you’ve ever seen an older person wearing a hearing aid, you can thank a medical supply company for providing that. Medical supply companies also provide a lot of the bedroom pans to hospitals and nursing homes, and IVs and other tools that senior citizens use to keep themselves healthy. Oxygen tanks also come from them.
