Muscle Strain: It is most likely a strain of the muscles. You should have an x-ray of the spine done in that area to make sure there is no abnormality of the spine. This would be unlikely. Heating pad and Ibuprofen (short term use no greater than 7 days) could be tried. If persists physical therapy or treatment with a chiropractor may help. If you develop weakness or numbness in you arms /legs, see your dr. Asap.
