Stiff neck: Be sure the problem is not related to a head/neck infection. Old neck injury can result in painful arthralgia.4/10 pain is controlled by any NSAID like ibuprofen or naproxen. Next, use ice to relieve spasm and pain the begin isometric exercises. If still in pain try cervical traction of about 15# for 30" at a time. Check my book, "Stop Your Neck Pain and Headache Now" for more help.
