| Reading can frequently cause
neck pain and headaches in patients with a whiplash injury. When you
read, use a pillow to support your elbows and arms so that your
upper trapezius doesn't get overloaded. Also, try not to look down
for extended periods of time. Position the book so that it's easy to
see without looking down. You may want to purchase a slant board
from an office supply store. This is a device that holds the book at
a 45 degree angle rather than having it sit flat on a table. |
