this is because of the spasm in your neck muscles secondary to cervical spondylitis. you need to apply any analgesic gel/ointment before the heat application. along with this you shall require muscle relaxants and analgesic combinations for 3-5 days to settle the pain. you cold take a combination of aceclofenac with myoril or ask for a prescription from your GP
