How to relieve the pain on the right side of the neck

If you often feel pain in the muscles on the right side of your neck, it is more appropriate to use some massage therapy methods. You should also pay attention to understanding some acupoints during massage. At the same time, you can use some hot compress methods at home, but be careful not to use too high a temperature to avoid burns.

First, use massage to solve the problem

There are three types of massage:

1. Massage the Fengchi point. You can place the fingers of your two hands on the Fengchi point respectively, and the rest of the fingers on both sides of the head, and then massage slowly from light to heavy for twenty to thirty times. It can dispel wind and cold, open the orifices and relieve pain.

2. Pinch the neck muscles. Place your left or right hand behind the neck, with the thumb on the outside of the neck on the same side. Place the other four fingers on the opposite side of the neck muscles. Use both hands to press together to lift the neck muscles up and then relax. Do this twenty to thirty times each time.

3. Press the shoulders and neck. You can use the tip of your middle finger to massage the Jianjing point on the opposite side, and then slowly increase the intensity of the massage. Do it ten to twenty times a day, and then alternate the massages. It can achieve the effect of dredging the meridians, activating the collaterals, dispelling cold and relieving pain.

Second, hot compress

You can use a hot water bottle, electric hand warmer or hot towel at home and place it on the affected area, twice a day for ten to twenty minutes each time, which can help promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. However, when using this method to treat right-side neck pain, be sure to avoid burns.

Third, acupuncture treatment

If pain occurs when bending forward or backward, you can use acupuncture on the Jinggu and Kunlun points. If you cannot move left or right, you should choose the Jianwaishu and Fengchi points. Acupuncture for fifteen minutes each time can greatly relieve the pain.

Fourth, drug treatment

If you have early-stage neck muscle pain on the right side, it is recommended that you use safflower oil or something like that to massage the painful area. Doing it two to three times a day will produce certain results. If the pain is caused by cervical spondylosis, you will need to apply some Chinese medicine ointments. However, if you are pregnant, it is recommended that you do not choose this method.
