Neck Pain

Symptoms:

Neck pain and other neck issues commonly manifest as one or more of the following symptoms:

  • pain and/or tightness directly in any part of the neck right around the spine
  • pain and/or tightness in the muscles on the side of the neck, front of the neck, upper shoulders, upper back, or base of the head
  • chronic or intermittent headaches
  • shoulder pain or tension
  • nerve symptoms, like numbness or tingling down arms

Causes:

Usually, neck pain is caused by one of the following:

  • a recent injury, like whiplash from a car accident, a sports injury or other kind of fall or accident
  • herniated or ruptured discs
  • degenerative or arthritic bone changes
  • accumulation of chronic stress and tension in the upper shoulder and neck area, which can lead to tightness and pain and tension headaches
  • sitting at a desk with bad posture or looking down over prolonged periods of time
  • old injuries that accumulate and finally show symptoms
  • old trauma or emotional wounding

Treatment:

For treatment of neck pain and injuries I mostly use Ortho-Bionomy.

Ortho-Bionomy helps the body come into better alignment by addressing the way the nervous system organizes the structure. Through my 20 years of experience in working with bodies, I have come to realize that the most effective way to relieve pain is by addressing the nervous system, since the nervous system directs all the structures and functions in the body. Read more under Treatment Methods – Ortho-Bionomy...

When I work with the neck I also work on the surrounding structures, such as the shoulders, the upper spine ( as well as the lower spine, since they balance each other), the collar bones and the ribcage. Ortho-Bionomy helps the different parts of the body to find better connection to each other and function better in relationship to each other.

Even when there is degeneration in the discs, or herniated discs or arthritic changes, Ortho-Bionomy can help to reduce or eliminate pain. It helps the body deal with any issues present in a more organized way and creates more comfort and ease.

I will often bring in Craniosacral Therapy to work with related issues in the structure of the bones of the head and possibly body centered trauma therapy to work with any traumatic impact, as from a car accident. Read more under Car accident recovery…

I was really pleased with the results of my 5-month old daughter having six sessions with Ines. Before we came in, my daughter, Cailyn, held her head to the right side much more often than the left and seemed to have a sensitive spot at the back of her head. At times she had a hard time calming down or going to sleep. After Ines helped to release some tension, we noticed her movements were much more symmetrical, the extra sensitivity at the back of her head was gone and there was a dramatic diff… Read more

I started seeing Ines for massage therapy, but quickly found that she offers much, much more. I’ve continued working with her during a time of stressful life changes because her unique ability to combine massage with other powerful therapeutic techniques provides such a deeply nourishing experience. Ines is a healer with remarkable skill, insight and genuine warmth… her approach is empowering! This work integrates support for mind, body and spirit… helps me connect to my inner strengths…… Read more

Before we started working with Ines, my son was experiencing some pronounced anxiety, hyperactivity, inability to follow classroom expectations and sensory processing challenges. Through cranio sacral therapy, Ines was able to significantly help reduce my son’s challenging behaviors. He was noticeably calmer, better focused and less anxious in the days following a session with Ines. We even saw improvements in his fine motor skills and a significant decrease in his emotional meltdowns. Our … Read more

I am a creative and ambitious person with a tendency to work too hard, fill my calendar with too much, and drink way too much coffee to get through it all. Overall I have a healthy lifestyle, but my stressful (and fun) lifestyle is hard on my nervous system. When I saw Ines, I was looking for an enjoyable massage that might relax some knots I carry in my calves and shoulders. What I received was far more than I could have imagined. I received the enjoyable massage for sure, but Ines also introdu… Read more

I got into a car accident in which I suffered impact from significant whiplash. I worked extensively with both a neuromuscular massage therapist and a chiropractor. After one year of care, I noticed that I had sustained injury. This is when I began to work with Ines. I specifically sought out working with Ines because of her combined expertise in massage, craniosacral therapy, and trauma re-negotiation. I knew that the combination of these three modalities, given from an expert practitioner, cou… Read more

Last spring I experienced severe low back pain for the first time in my life, where I could not sleep, I could not sit or work.  I went to see Ines for Ortho-Bionomy sessions to find relief.  I was expecting that fire must be fought with fire – that only deep pressure would make a difference to pain this intense.  When Ines started to work with subtle movements I thought I got roped into some Boulder BS, that this surely wouldn’t effect any change.  To my surprise I found that after 2 sessions m… Read more
