Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

You may perform stretching exercises of the neck and moving neck in all directions.

A temporary use of Cervical collar will give rest to the neck muscles to relax and heal.

Ice packs too will increase mobility of neck and reduce pain.

If cervicalgia is due to constant mental stress/anxiety, a course of anti-depressant + anti-anxiety drug along with muscle relaxants will be very helpful.

As a last resort, EMS and, particularly, Low-Level Laser Therapy will be of great benefit.

Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me, order required tests, and- based on the reports- will prescribe suitable/modified treatment as advised.

In case of any further queries, revert back to me THROUGH DIRECT PREMIUM QUERY (Paid), addressed to me personally. You will receive- almost immediately- my response in great details.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE all doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Fond regards and have a nice day
