This can be corrected through strengthening the neck muscles and rest. If, however, your neck is stiff in the morning and improves during the day the day, it's possible that the culprit is some underlying problems, such as arthritis. Neck pain that is worsen by coughing or sneezing may be a sign of disc involvement. Chiropractic methods to increase spinal mobility and, in some cases, cervical collars to temporarily support the head, can treat such problems. Treatment may involve chiropractic manipulation, Physicaltherapies, and exercise.
Injuries require special attention.
The sudden impact from behind causes the head to flip backwards, and then deceleration thrusts the head forward. This whipping motion distorts the natural curve of the neck. Symptoms such as headaches, visual disturbance, shoulder, neck and arm pain, and neuralgia are frequent. These two exercises, done regularly, will strengthen and relax your neck muscles and help maintain the normal range of motion in your neck. Do each three or four times slowly and deliberately, relaxing as you do them, twice a day.
