how to get crook out of neck
Hey Niah, I woke up with a crook in my neck, and it's really painful. Do you know any quick remedies?
Sure, I do. The first recommendation would be gentle neck stretches. Tilt your head slowly from left to right and vice versa. Then, nod your head forward slowly and look up to the ceiling. Remember, these movements should be smooth and slow to avoid any further injury.
Okay, that sounds manageable. Anything else I should be doing?
Absolutely. You should apply a warm compress to ease the muscle tension. Also, if the pain persists, over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines can help. However, let me reiterate, if the pain persists for more than a few days, consult a medical professional.
That's useful. Should I avoid any specific activities?
Yes, it would be best to avoid any strenuous activities or any movements that cause pain or discomfort. Ensure your sleeping position is comfortable and your neck isn't subject to any awkward positions. Additionally, regular breaks from desk work or activities that keep your neck in a maintained position can help.
