Dr. Donald Colantino answered

Strain, contusion: Strain of the neck with contusion of the upper back occurs in that type of injury. Such injuries take 7-10 days to heal. If symptoms are persisting with ongoing neck pain, radiation to the arm, arm numbness, or severe headache you should be examined by a physician.
