How can I keep the pain in the back of my head/base of skull that comes when I laugh too hard. IT happens at other times also when my spine is in certain positions exercising. IF it is arthritic can I minimize it. If it is neurological can i stop it.
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. As the pain comes during certain position that a thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. As you are getting this pain, little understanding of the biomechanics of the cervical spine is needed. As we grow older, there leads to degenerative changes occurring the bones, muscles, joints, ligament etc. For this understanding the proper biomechanics of the cervical spine is advised. Also, due the position of the head over a longer period there might be a possibility of losing the lordosis curve of the cervical spine. Understanding the proper biomechanics and then undergoing physical therapy should give you outstanding results. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
