Need Consultation Regarding A Recent Muscle Wreck In The Neck
Question: Need consultation regarding a recent muscle wreck in the neck
Brief Answer:
Can be due to abnormal neck positions.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Any abnormal neck position or using a too high pillow or improper posture while working for long hours on computer can cause a muscle spasm in the neck muscles causing a pain. Such pains usually subside with rest, mild pain killers, oral muscle relaxants, hot compress and isometric neck exercises. You need to write in detail regarding your problem to get a detailed evaluation.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Hi doctor,
Thanks for reaching out to me with your recommendations.
The muscle spasm is because of a jerk in my neck during workout yesterday while attemtping a head stand..
Since then, the shoulder to neck muscle in deltoids has been hurting badly.
1. I seek your opinion on what kind of exercises should I be doing to make sure the muscle gets better sooner
2. Should I apply warm technique or cooling technique through ice pack to correct the muscle spasm in this case

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
A sudden jerk can cause a muscle spasm. As long as you have pain in the area it is advisable to give it a rest to heal. Once the pain subsides then only you should resume with exercises. Isometric neck exercises help in increasing the tone of neck muscles and thus help in preventing any such happenings in future.
You need to use a warm compress now to relax the spasm in the muscles. You can also apply. local analgesic gel like Volini for a better relief.
