Easy: Look for stretching exercises, avoid lifting or things that can "make your face red", ice followed by heat, otc anti-inflammatory agents if nothing was prescribed.

Varies but time best: .For most with symptoms, time is the best healer. Other treatment ranges from activity restrictions, over the counter medications if no contraindications & where needed, lifestyle changes such as weight control & smoking cessation.
