Neck pain. What can I do to help myself? What causes it and how to prevent it from reoccurring?

One of the more common causes of neck pain is a cervical facet joint inflammation. People normally experience the pain in the morning, which comes up for no apparent reason. The neck feels stiff and pain gets provoked with movements of the head.

First of all, do not worry. Facet joint inflammation is quite common and normally resolves within 4-6 week. You can take some anti-inflammatory medication and cool the area to reduce the pain. Many people are worried that moving the neck would make things worse, however encouraging the neck mobility despite the pain can actually speed up the recovery.
