Managing neck pain
Monday, February 02, 2009
If you’ve sustained a minor injury to your neck, there are things you can do to get the pain under control.

The US National Library of Medicine offers these suggestions:

Health Tips

* Use an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen.

* Apply an ice pack for the first two or three days, followed by a few days of applying heat, such as by taking a hot shower or using a heating pad.

* Gently exercise and stretch the neck, with up-and-down and side-to-side motions.

* Have someone lightly rub or massage your neck.

* Use a neck pillow or no pillow at all when you sleep. A firm mattress will help, too
