Examination: Your physician should evaluate the cervical spine for any tenderness or decrease in range of motion. There may be a screening radiograph obtained during the visit to exclude a fracture. For muscular pain, apply direct heat, take ibuprofen and rest. I would advise that you have an evaluation soon.
