If you’re one of millions of westerners who suffers frequent neck pain, chances are you’ve never thought of this specific drink to ease your pain.
Norwegian researchers featured in today’s article discovered the effects by complete coincidence and have no way to explain it. But it works and that’s all that matters.
In a small study looking at participants with chronic neck and shoulder pain, Norwegian researchers wanted to look at how this pain develops in the workplace for those whose jobs involved sedentary computer work.
Even though they had not planned on looking at the effects of caffeine on chronic pain, they discovered that it has an effect. Not wanting sleepy participants first thing in the morning, the researchers offered one cup of either tea or coffee before the observation period started.
The participants all did the same computer activity for 90 minutes, using no keyboard and only the mouse to navigate.
They discovered that those who drank caffeinated beverages were less likely to develop neck pain than their caffeine-free counterparts during the course of the study.
While the study only uncovered a subtle correlation and not an actual causal relationship, researchers did offer that the trend merits further study in a controlled environment, looking specifically at how caffeine affects the development of chronic neck pain with certain job ergonomics.

I thank you for your advice.
This is interesting. I hardly ever drink coffee. It does not keep me awake, though. I used to drink coffee driving to and from college, and during winters whenever I drive much, or am out in the cold. I like the kind of coffee my granny used to fix for me. Lots of milk, a little extra water, and flavorings, flavorings, flavorings; none of which are too healthy.
I still like weak coffee, a little sweetner, and milk (low-fat), and flavorings. I would like to find some natural flavorings with little un-natural additives. I like hazelnut creme the best!
I would be willing to have a small coffee, to help with neck pain.
Thanks, Christian. I will pass on this info to friends! (& drink my coffee)
I just hope it does work.
The caffeine in the coffee dilates the blood vessels in the neck and so avoids the headache, which comes about when there is a contraction of the blood vessels in the neck. The coffee will also prevent a stroke from happening at that time.
I believe the effects of some caffiene is beneficial and would love to benefit from same by drinking some – even one cup per day ( do believe coffee is the best beverage on Earth). Trouble is, How do I prevent the resulting palpitations I get.
More info supports the positive effects of coffee. As I drink several cups a day, I am happy about this!
It is amazing for me that coffee is helpful for neck pain. You have shared very useful information with us thanks for this.
Is it true that coffee will reduce neck pain.
