Neck Pain
Relief for next pain in the short term…
If you want to speed your recovery from neck pain, then see a healthcare professional who can reassure you with a diagnosis, advise and educate you about some simple exercises to perform. They will also give you some strategies to prevent the neck pain from coming back.
Joint mobilisation (‘stretching the joints’) may help with pain relief whilst you are recovering.
The important points for recovery are:
remaining as active as the pain allows,
taking simple painkillers if needed, and
advice from a healthcare professional.
If simple painkillers and staying active are not helpful, then other treatments may be recommended. If you have an ongoing neck problem, say more than three months, then research suggests that the most effective treatment is exercise.
