I've been dealing with tightness in my traps and neck and the tightness seems to correlate with me getting headaches as a result of the muscle tightness. what's the best course of action to treat my problem?

NSAIDs: Anti inflammatories, such as ibuprofen and tylenol, taken as directed on the bottle, should help with your symptoms. You can also talk to your doctor about muscle relaxers. Stretching and massage may also help!
