Investigations like an x-ray should be done. Short wave diathermy and CT 10 sittings should be taken at a physiotherapy centre. Avoid doing exercises during acute phase. Neck movements will help in relieving pain and discomfort. In acute pains one can use cervical collar for 2 hours. Neck pains are as a result of bad posture while sitting in front of computer for long duration. In such case do stretching exercises every 2-3 hours.
