8 Ways To Prevent Neck Pain

1. Keep your neck and shoulders warm when traveling on an airplane. This will prevent muscle stiffness.

2. Position your computer monitor at eye level.

3. Do not sleep on your stomach. This increases stress to the neck.

4. If you sleep on your side, put a small pillow between your knees.

5. Take frequent breaks from your computer desk.

6. Stretch your neck slowly on a daily basis. Hold your stretches about 10 seconds.

7. Look up at the sky or ceiling a few times per day to help stretch the neck.

8. Maintain proper neck alignment by being checked by your chiropractor on a monthly basis.
