You should take Physiotherapy. In Physiotherapy you have to start with electrotherapy followed by exercise therapy.
You need to continue the exercises for atleast 3-4 months to get good result.

You could start with exercises. But it would be good for you to also visit a physio.
If there is no pain down the arm or weakness associated it is good; which could be of nerve origin. Meanwhile neck, scapular and thoracic exercises could be started. However as suggested earlier it needs to be assessed.
