Is headbanging harmful?!
Question: Is headbanging harmful!?
Hello im a huge thrash metal fan,I was headbanging to the slayer song fight till death and I think I pulled something!.When I turn my head to the right is feels sore!.I figure its really nothing and its starting to go away!.The guys from the bands I like have been going it for 20 something years and seem to be fine!.From what what I read its not harmful except you could get a nosebleed or whiplash,and mabye a headache!.But some guy suffered a stroke from thrashing!.I usually pause for a moment then continue thrashing and then pause again!.There's really no other way to enjoy that kind of music without thrashing to it!. If its harmful should I stop or thrash less!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Everyone who is a rock/heavy metal fan loves headbanging!. however its not harmful!. The only thing that can be harmful is if you pull something in your neck, which is probably why you have a sore neck right now!.
When i got a bad neck i went to the doctors, complete waste of time, he just told me to do some exercise like moving my arms about!. i thought it was useless, however it did get better, i am very cautious of hurting my neck again though!. However if i was you to make sure you dont do any serious damage i would definatly thrash less!. better to be safe than sorry xxWww@Answer-Health@Com

Thrash less!. I don't see the enjoyment in it but to each his own!. But It sounds like you are straining the muscles in your neck and headaches are not much fun!. The man who had the stroke probably had a preexisting condition he knew nothing about and caused the stroke by all the thrashing back and forth!. Enjoy and keep a bottle of asprin near by!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Moshing/thrashing can actually damage or kill brain cells, which you aren't able to create more of!.
I'd suggest you simply mosh/thrash during a concert!. However, if you go to one every week (lucky xP) than maybe try to take breaks or contain yourself!.
Anyway, I don't believe that it's life threatening, so if you're not concerned about your brain cells, thrash all you want!. (; I do agree with you though, you really can only mosh to that type of music!. Dancing is almost impossible!.!.!. xDD Haha!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
