Best way to relieve severe neck stiffness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neck stiffness: Massage, heat, ice, traction all help. Using a cervical support pillow. Tylenol (acetaminophen) or over the counter antiinflammatory meds can help. Also topical cream and gels may provide some relief. Ultimately range of motion exercises are best for stiffness.
