Strains and Sprains: If you are otherwise healthy & had no direct injury to your neck, you likely just pulled something! If you have any weakness in either hand or arm however, or any numbness or tingling in those areas, you need to seek more immediate medical care. As with any injury, it's often beneficial to take it easy and not stress the area until the symptoms have improved. Physical therapy is a great resource!
