Takes time: Neck muscle injuries take time to heal. Unfortunately there is no quick fix. Try to keep the neck still or immobilized, and use anti inflammatory medicines (Ibuprofen) to help reduce inflammation. Try applying Warm compresses to the area to increase circulation. Healing could take up to 4-6 weeks. Reassess what caused the injury and modify sleep position, pillow etc to prevent reinjuring the area.
