Ricked Neck

What you need to know:

It’s essential to get treatment for this painful condition in a child as soon as possible. The best natural therapies are Osteopathy - if possible, find a practitioner with a special interest in children - and chiropractic.

Aromatherapy massage can also be useful, but although it’s possible to buy essential oils at any pharmacy these days, when the massage is on a child, it’s best to have professional treatments. If, after you’ve watched a few session, you feel confidant enough to top up the therapy at home, the best oils are:
  • Eucalyptus
  • Lavender
  • Ginger
Putting hot compresses of lavender or pine on the painful area will help, too.
