Neck Pain from Rolling

[Joe Durham]

Often the movement cause by the can opener when you chin is compressed to your chest results in bulging discs as talked about in this thread. No idea if this relates to you but may help if it does.

Like I said in the thread Mckenzies exercises changed my life and it's free

100% agree! Did the same for me.

I just don't let people crank on my neck anymore. Anyone gets hold of mine rolling i just tap. I am not letting my wee neck get jacked!

How bout this, tell your partner to ease the fuck down lol, but seriously, leave your ego behind u and tap earlier than later, helps for me, "tap early, train tomorrow". sounds familiar? Can openers are illegal in all competitions where I'm from so why even do it, its a douchbag move anyways, its not technical at all. Its a recipe for a hernated disc, u dont want that shit..

For recovery, rest, isometric contractions after 3-4 days of your neck, then stretches eventually. Cold is a bit overrated but its good the first day or too, just dont use it too much, 20 mins max at a time, i'de suggest 10 mins. anti inflammitories im not a big fan of and anyways im not allowed recomend u take it but if i were u I'de only use if u feel u really have to. It's hard to say what u should do since Im not there beside u and i cant do any testing and ask all the appropriate questions, but I hope this helps a bit.

goodluck.

Say your neck cracks a bunch of times from a can opener, and your ROM is limited all of a sudden from what could be muscle tightness or w/e happens when you're can opened hard. What is a good way to as speedily as possible recover to regain full ROM and to reduce w/e pain one gets from minimal to none?

Also, what's the best way to get out of the can opener when someone is in your guard?

good advice, but decompression therapy is a bit overrated, some people in Quebec got in trouble for this because they made some claims that were not true. From what i remember, it mostly makes it feel better but does not actually treat it, its definately not bad for u but your vertebraes will come back closer together anyways, something like that.

Chiropractic adjustment, decompression therapy, rest, when recovery is far enough along physical therapy/exercise to strengthen stabilizing muscles. Spine injuries put me out of BJJ for 8 months, this route got ME back in the game but may not be for everyone.

I’d say read browse around once more and clear any misunderstandings.

I had chronic back pain from my roofing work for over 20 years. Tried acupuncture, massage therapy and even pranic healing before I got chiropractic manual adjustment at the Erin Mills Health facility here in Mississauga, where I live. Best money I ever spent. I agree that there are scammers around trying to drain money from you everywhere, but chiro is definitely legit.
