Nonspecific: Neck pain can be caused by many things, such as muscle sprain/strain, disc degeneration, herniated disc, etc. In general terms, your treatment options include physical therapy/chiropractic, medications (i.E anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants), spinal injections, and (in appropriate cases) surgery. If your pain does not improve over time, see a physician.

Posture: 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.
