How to get Rid of that Pain in your Neck

You roll out of bed and suddenly you feel it; a stifling pain in your neck. You can't move your head without feeling an unwelcome twinge, and stretching doesn’t help.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Heating pad
• Pain relievers
• Hot shower
• Muscle joint rub

1. Exercise the muscles by slowly rotating your neck in a circular motion. This may be somewhat uncomfortable at first but it will help by loosening the muscles.

2. Take a hot shower and let the hot water beat down on the area of discomfort.

3. Use a heating pad for just a little while because heat helps the discomfort.

4. Apply joint and muscle balm to the sore neck.

5. 
   The neck brace will keep the neck still

   Use a neck brace if the pain is too severe but in this case you should seek medical help.
