At home preventative tips
Some of the ways that you can prevent or assist when you have a sore neck yourself are:
- Use a heat pack
- For acute conditions if heat isn’t helping use an ice pack
- If your body allows, try gentle stretches on the shoulders and neck
- Gentle massage with your fingers and a cooling balm like tiger balm
- Take pain relief and anti inflammatory as prescribed by your doctor.
- Deep breathing, this is for stress management but can assist in loosening up anterior nerve pain.
