How do i rid of neck pain?

Neck pain treatment: Neck pain treatment can be simple or complex depending on the cause. Most neck pain is musculoskeletal (coming from the muscles). This is best treated with stretching, strengthening and careful attention to ergonomics (avoiding injury due to awkward positions and repetitive stress). Ask your doctor about exercises for neck stretching and strengthening.

Anti-inflammatory: You may want to try applying moist heat to your neck 2-3 times per day and start a short course of anti-inflammatory such as advil or aleve (naproxen). Make sure you have a good lumbar support if you sit in a chair several hours per day. This will help with posture and will reduce stress on the neck. If pain lasts greater than 2 weeks or worsens i recommend seeing your doctor.

Varies: It varies somewhat based upon the cause. Causes of neck problems can include muscular pain, arthritis in the facet joints, disc problems and multiple other causes. If it does not respond to simple things like trying an NSAID or using moist heat, don't hesitate to be seen for an accurate diagnosis and treatment options.
