Icing: Wrap an ice pack around the back of your neck for approximately 15 minutes. Try to ice 2 to 3 times per day with one hour between icing.

Gentle Shoulder Circles: Gently lifting your shoulders up, back and down and around.

Gentle Neck Stretch: Slowly drop your ear to your shoulder and hold the stretch for 15 seconds. Then slowly drop your chin towards your armpit, holding this for 15 seconds. Repeat this on the other side. Perform this stretch 2 times on each side.

here is my advice! listen to KISS!

[ARom5000]

My cervical strain has led to my right side being lower than the left... is there anyway to fix this without surgery?

[SonsoftheProphets]

Sitting up straight causes my neck to hurt however, slouching causes my neck to hurt also.

Your advice on the neck exercises helped to release some tension. Is there any other thing that I can do to make my neck pain even more bearable?

thanks!

Yesterday I was at a concert (rock)

I did headbanging for long time without any streches Now my neck is hurting so bad

when I try to bend over it hurts so bad.

What shall I do?

@quorthon1940 yes, I would start with McKenzie, maybe some Mulligan self mobs and when things resolve I might ad the other stretches.

i have been able to click my neck without any pain for months and i woke up this morning went to click the left side of my neck and bang extreme pain on the left side of my neck but when i move my head the pain sometimes shifts also i experience pain when lifting my arms and havent got a clue wether to go to the hospital or not

Had neck pain for almost two months....even went to chiropractor for a visit...still had extreme pain in morning even after sleeping on back all night....discomfort and poor range 24 hrs. I watched this and other similar videos, used the techniques - AND cold packs - got better in days. It has been a week and still not out of the woods but no pain in mornings, sleep better, can sleep in side, continue to use techniques when stiffness creeps up. Working on posture, especially at computer.

NEW REPLY (1 day later)---ive been following your advice now for 24hrs and WOW--im completely healed--in fact, i even played my softball game last night---i did not have to skip it!

i must admit, when i first followed your advice--it really hurt to stretch-but when i did it again and again, i felt the muscles relaxing and beginnning to lossen up. i took pain pills for 5 days and nothing worked. Listen to her if you want to get better--leave the pills in the cabinet-

THANK U!
