Stiff neck

[Leinad8919]

My grandpa had this problem

 

so he just turned his bed 180

 

degrees. Claimed his stiff neck

 

went away and also threw his

 

Viagra pills away.

 

Maybe grandpa didn't swallow the Viagra hence the stiff neck ?

Likely he chewed on the pill too much than swallow it whole.

on pillow.. i ditched all those tokong tokong memory and what nots.. went back to basic.. used a seat cushion instead.

low enough to support my neck, not tall enough to stretch it unnecessarily..

so far no issues.

Just to share... Nowadays, without our knowing, all smart gadget force us stain our neck, shoulder, arm, wrist, muscles  at very extreme angle as these gadgets are all attention-grabbing for quite a long time, be it smart phone, note book, etc. In the end, our standing, sitting postures are compromised. Hence, we have stiff neck, stiff shoulder, stiff upper arm, etc.

 

The simplified sitting posture correcting measures : 

 

Swimming and other type of sport can loosen up all stiff muscles when we do it regularly and moderately with sufficient warming up and cooling down... :)

Stiff neck or shoulder confirmed due to the pillow plus incorrect posture during sleep.

 

I had purchase 4 pillows, hoping to tackle this.

 

from soft type, to memory type and even the high end type from seahorse.

nothing seems to be working..

 

I visit TCM every fortnightly for 2 hrs session, massage and cupping etc..

 

it helps, by bringing my neck back to normal.

 

Each day when I work up, I will do some simple exercise, neck and shoulder stretching.

it really helps.

 

I believe mine is consider a mild case, the stiffness on my neck at times, will give me spinning headache..

I try not to consume painkiller unless need to..

[Atonchia]

Ok recap:

 

Good standing posture

Good sitting posture while working

Good habits when using electronic devices.

Good pillow

Good mattress

Good masseur

Good stretching & exercises

For stiff neck and shoulder, if able to find a good TCM usually should be able to improve the stiffness. But TCM always needs to take lots of session and it is an on going therapy which might take up lots of time and money.

Yeah. For the last 1 and 1/2 or so, every fortnight, my wife and I will go for our tcm treats.

 

Each session cost us like $150 for 2 hrs with medication

 

 

Still ok, as we get reimbursed. .haha, bought a p.a policy, which allows me to claim 2k per year..

I used to go to gym for weight training.  As we grow older, our spine get weaker.  Need strong muscle to hold the spine straight.

Insurance policy got cover TCM de?

[BanCoe]

Insurance policy got cover TCM de?

I remember they only pay a certain % of the bill amount for TCM ; something like 75% .... can't remember the exact figure though claimable

This TCM can claim provided its approved by the Insurer with a doctors note; Are you talking about NTUC PAID policy (Personal Accident Infectious diseases )

Actually question is for @Kurty

used to be under NTUC, but after a year or 2, they actually increase my premium hence I terminate them..

 

to be frank, I also can't remember what is the name of the company..

As one of my neighbours does this, basically we leave it under his care..

submit the bills to him and he will claim for us, bank in for us..

pretty good service.. haha

 

well, my P.A policy works like this, each TCM must not exceed $150.

Each accident claim $1000

Per annual, 2k max.

try to position our buttock all the way to the back of our seat, so our back touch the back rest of the chair. In other words, we push our chair as close as possible towards the table. :)
