Suggest treatment for pain and stiffness in neck muscles

Question: I had a Chiropratic neck adjustment a week ago, I feel some soreness when I lean my head foward and a pulling feeling under the back of the neck when I lean my head foward. Does This take a week or two to heal up normally ?
Or is it just nerve endings that need to heal after the stress of the adjustment.
