Hello,
Throbbing headache with stiffness of the neck could be a sign of meningitis. Check for fever and any other symptoms of infection. Get a blood count done to be sure. If the stiffness is due to muscle or ligament strain, then exercises, physiotherapy or a muscle relaxant will help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
