The "Ache" Neck Pain - Self Treatments
Primary Treatment
- Heat: Take a hot shower and let the water run on your neck. Or place a heating pad or hot water bottle on your neck. Keep it on long enough to allow your skin to turn a little red and warm up.
- Rest: Try to avoid movements which aggravate your symptoms.
- Pillows: Try an orthopedic pillow if you normal sleep with more than one pillow. Sleeping with too many pillows can cause an increased amount of stress placed on the muscles, ligaments and facets which can cause neck pain. The pillow will keep the curve in your spine in its proper position while you sleep and hopefully help with your pain.
