Herniated or bulging disc (cervical)

Tension in the muscles around your head, neck, chest, and shoulders can contribute to misalignment of the cervical spine, where more pressure is placed on the vertebrae and the discs and increases the likelihood of a disc injury.

To restore the alignment of your neck, releasing tension in the suboccipital, upper traps, and chest are important. Doing so will get these tense muscles to finally relax, allowing you to engage the proper muscles to maintain better posture and give the disc a chance to heal over time.

Releasing tension is the first step you should take to make your other stretches and exercises more effective. Here's how our products can help with rounded shoulders.

Range: releases tension in the upper traps, neck, and chest muscles that pull you into poor neck and upper body alignment

Postural or alignment issues in the upper body can also be impacted by what is happening lower in the body. If the hips and pelvis are twisted, that impacts the alignment of the spine all the way up to the head and neck area.

Mark: releases the iliacus and psoas muscles with precise pressure, restoring alignment of the front of the hips and pelvisOrbit: releases the piriformis and other deep hip rotators in the glute region with broad pressure, restoring alignment of the back of the hips and pelvis

Band: helps strengthen key muscles around your core, glutes, and hips to create stability around better alignment

Book: our Founder's book Tight Hip, Twisted Core - The Key to Unresolved Pain offers deeper insights into muscle tension and how it is impacting your pain, helping you understand how to address the root cause

When used consistently over time, the Aletha Health products support less muscle tension, better alignment, and increased strength & stability. This combination has helped many people improve their neck pain related to a disc injury, and we hope it will help you too.

For best results, use the Aletha Health products together and alongside other stretches and exercises. Please check with your healthcare practitioner for which stretches and exercises are most appropriate for you.
