Tension, spasm and postural disorders in the neck and shoulder area can also raise blood pressure. In other words, it is not only blood pressure that causes neck pain — neck tension also affects blood pressure.
1What does osteopathy do?
- The nervous system is regulated, stress and tension decrease
- Releasing compression in the neck and rib cage improves blood flow to the brain
- Techniques applied to the diaphragm and internal organs balance the autonomic nervous system
- Vascular tone and self-regulation mechanisms are activated
We look not at where the pain is, but at where it comes from.
