How long does it take to heal if a muscle in the neck has been strained?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: On severity, but if it is just a muscle strain, it should get better in about a week. If it persists any longer, it might be something more serious such as a herniated disc. So go get medical help if it persists.
