Your neck pain might not be spine-related. Your gallbladder is a small sac that hangs beneath your rib cage and connects to the small intestine and liver. When you eat, the gallbladder releases bile into the small intestine to help you break down fat.

Bile is made of cholesterol and bile salts. You can develop gallstones when cholesterol is high and bile salts are low. Before the development of gallstones, you’ll have bile sludge that clogs the ducts, applying pressure to the phrenic nerve that extends to the neck. This causes referred pain in the neck and shoulder area.

Any congestion in the liver or gallbladder can cause unexplained neck pain and shoulder pain. This can’t be fixed with surgery, drugs, a chiropractor, physical therapy, or massage! You must address the root causes: bile deficiency, liver damage, alcohol, and junk food. Address these issues to get rid of referred pain.

Bile salts are a powerful remedy for referred pain from the liver and gallbladder. TUDCA can help thin bile sludge and reduce fat on the liver. It’s also good for the eyes, brain, and pancreas. Increasing taurine is also beneficial, but dietary changes are the best remedy for this problem.

To determine if you’re dealing with pain from the gallbladder or liver, manually massage the area to eliminate congestion. If this is the source of your problem, you’ll feel instant relief from right-side neck pain and shoulder pain.
