It depends: You are probably referring to neck muscle spasms - the severe form of which can lead to a tilt or flexion of the neck and pain. Generally speaking, i prefer to use anti-inflammatory medications, exercises, and modalities (warm moist heat applications). Sometimes, i will also prescribe a muscle relaxant and rarely pain medication. I find that physical therapy is an excellent approach.
