Neck Pain Treatment

If the pain is a result of a sports injury or any other trauma and it is not severe, then it can be successfully treated with self-care. First, it is recommended to rest and to avoid any strenuous movement and activities that can worsen the pain. You can also apply ice to reduce the pain and swelling. In will help muscles to rest and bring healing nutrients to the affected area. The duration of this idea procedure is 15-20 minutes. You can repeat it again after a 2-hour break.  You can also try gentle stretches if the pain is mild. 

However, if the pain is severe and is getting worse, it is recommended to see a doctor who will perform several tests to figure out what exactly is causing the pain.
