Many : From just sleeping the right way (small flat pillow) & avoid prolonged positioning or an awkward one or overuse of the muscles with some activity to name a few. Treatment can be otc medication, heat applications and stretching while in a hot shower to avoiding activities that may aggravate your symptoms . If a smoker stop. Massage may help as well. If no better, see your doctor.
