Treating Neck Strains
Avoid keeping the neck in awkward positions unless absolutely necessary. Try to take frequent breaks and push your neck in other directions when it’s necessary. It helps to keep the muscles comfortable and flexible.
Such tips are useful for neck strain prevention. But what if you are in pain already? Try to give as much rest as you can to your neck. Use over-the-counter pain killers to alleviate the agony while you rest. If, after a couple of days, it still hurts or you notice that your movement is reduced, tell your doctor.
