What the best way to cure a stiff neck?

...

Kamlesh	go for a hot long soak with your other half

socspots	a stiff drink???

toietmoi	There is no cure. Whatever you are going to do, it is going to take its natural course- gets stiffer before getting better (around 3 days). Take anti inflammatory like brufen it may ease the pain. good luck

frank	I would like to know too.

candy	Frankie if you done this in the last 48 hours you need to ice it - put a Tea towel under cold water and ring out - place around a bag of frozen peas. Apply to the neck for no more than 15 minutes. Do this for 48 hours, then you need to apply heat. Wheat bag applied to area. Brufen (ibuprofen) may help but remember to always take with food. Hope this helps X

Robert	Swallow the viagra quicker!!

Annie M	Buy a decent pillow for a start. I can highly recommend Tempur pillows.

nicemanvery	Dont try an cure it , just get it moved down a couple of feet !

Anshuman S	Sleeping problems have been causing this 'illness".I may give you suggestions to sleep properly. A healthy diet and exercise program have been proven to not only reduce risks for certain medical conditions, but they are also known to reduce stress and to assist in sleep comfort. Stress is a leading contributor to many chronic health conditions as well as causing an imbalance in sleep patterns. Exercise does not have to be strenuous, a simple walk a few times a week is more than sufficient. A healthy diet also includes the reduction of caffeine and alcoholic intake, as well as reducing food consumption in the evening hours, which has been shown to prohibit some from sleeping better.

kathy_is_a_nurse	Grasp the "meaty" part of the back of the neck firmly using the palm of the hand and the flat surfaces fo the fingers (i.e., NOT the tips). Hold that grip for about a minute. Release SLOWLY. Do the same thing to the trapezius muscles on both side of the neck...the muscles leading down from the side of the neck to the top of the shoulder. This is a very effective acupressure technique...you'll love it! While you can do it to yourself, if you have someone around to do it to you so you can just sit there and relax, it's much better.

Marcus	ibuprofen, relax, osteopath, chiropractor, light massage

Pooka	Chiropractor

jamjan100	Forget Phisio. Useless. I went loads of times without improvement. Acupuncture and massage are my recommendations.

Lisa	Chiropractor visit!

Alfie	Maybe the best approach is to discover first what's caused it? If your stiff neck is in pain because of a whiplash type of injury it's different from troubles caused by rheumatics, duff circulation of blood stream etc. Each type of pain requires its specific treatment. Brief your GP about it a priori, I'd recommend. Pain in the neck? - I've been that, whilst enduring that! Best wishes for a successful outcome.

hushnowjustplayit	Work it out.

revmerly	exercise and stop being snooty.

Chintot	get a better quality pillow and try not to raise your head too high when gettig to sleep. also try stretching your nexk as faras you can to one side, then straight up, then to the other side. do these exercises as regularly as possible and drik lots of water. this is what i was told when i went to a chirporactor.

diane w	A stiff whisky...no seriously, ibuprofen and heat in the area, i.e. hot water bottle wrapped in a towel and wrapped around the neck.

Artful Dodger.	Relax on the sofa watch a good film, won't cure it but might take your mind off it.

Cosmic Girl	Massage and deep heat

Danger Mouse	A massage with pain relieving essentional oils. don't knock it till you've tried it!

Mike10613	Take paracetamol it's a pain killer and anti-inflammatory. Massage with massage oil will help. Otherwise just wait - I know they are bad but usually don't last too long. I had to go out to a bee hive when I had one. That was really bad....

yellow	Therapeutic massage. Also, don't use heat if this is a new condition because heat will exacerbate inflammation; use ice if it's new -- heat if it's not.

Deep Throat	Hot Water Bottle near you neck while you are relaxing in bed

tacogirl4959	heating pad, the warmth loosens the muscle

Rebornie	Change your pillow.
