Hi...., following these steps would help- Short-term immobilization. A soft collar that supports your neck may help relieve pain by taking pressure off the structures in your neck... Begin daily gentle stretching, including neck rolls and shoulder rolls, once the worst of your pain has subsided. Gently tilt, bend and rotate your neck. Warm your neck and back with a heating pad or in the shower or bath before doing these exercises
