Brief Answer:
Consult an orthopedic spine surgeon.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the query.

Back and neck pain can be due to various causes such as degeneration of spine, osteoarthritis of neck, disc bulge, etc.

You can try the following home remedies:
- Heat compress
- Gentle massage
- Exercise: Limited movement of muscles and joints is more effective for treating simple back pain than passive methods such as rest and medicines. Restricting your activity is important, but as the pain eases, you should move your muscles and joints past the point of the initial restriction.
- Correct posture: Using correct posture and keeping your spine in alignment are the most important things you can do for your neck and back.
- Try over the counter drug, Tab. Zerodol-P whenever you have pain. You can take a maximum of 3 tablets/day.
-Try cervical collar/neck collar after consulting an orthopedic doctor.

I would advice you to meet an orthopedic spine surgeon for a detailed examination and treatment.

I hope this answered your query.
