Do you know about myofascial pain syndrome?

Lately, I have been feeling tightness and stiffness in the back of my neck.

Then, a headache can also develop up to the top of the head.

So I looked into what to do when experiencing these symptoms.

 

 

Myofascial Pain Syndrome

 

 

 

 

 

Are you familiar with myofascial pain syndrome?

 

Even if the muscles have a limit to the amount of force they can withstand, if shocks continue to repeat or if a state of excessive tension is maintained, it ultimately has a negative impact on the body and can induce myofascial pain syndrome.

If incorrect posture or movements are repeatedly maintained or if muscles are used excessively beyond their natural strength, the muscles may contract abnormally, causing tension in the back of the neck.

 

 

 

Cause

 

✅Office work that takes a long time

Students studying in unsafe postures

✅Mental stress

✅Cold or humid weather

 

 

 

These symptoms can be treated with Western medicine as well as traditional Korean medicine.

It is said that treatment can be done with acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, Chuna, or cupping therapy.

 

Another way is to improve your lifestyle habits.

Having the habit of lowering the pillow, not crossing the legs, and standing at an angle, etc.

It is said that improving your lifestyle habits can lead to significant improvements.

 

 

It's a cold season.

Myofascial pain syndrome that can occur more frequently during this season!

It would be good to do stretching frequently.
