    1.The cause of stiff neck is mainly related to the cold of the neck and shoulders and overwork, please pay attention to rest in recent days, don't be too tired, and the neck pain symptoms will gradually ease after sleeping.

    2.The affected part of the neck at the time of stiff neck is in the acute stage, and the tissues of the affected area are congested and swollen, so it is not suitable to use hot water bottles, and there is no need to apply blood-invigorating plasters for the time being, because this may aggravate the congestion and swelling of local tissues and aggravate the inflammatory reaction. If it's summer, I would recommend rubbing your neck with cold water, but it's winter, and it's hard to put cold water in your neck.

    3.Wrap a thick woolen scarf around your neck once or twice, and gently tie a small knot. The function of the scarf is to slightly softly limit and hold the neck, and the other is to keep warm.

    When the neck warms up, the pain may be relieved a lot. Moving the neck in the acute phase only exacerbates tissue damage and needs to be slightly limited.

    4.If you still have a headache or neck pain, you can also wash your hair with warm water, which is also very effective. After washing, you should also pay attention to cold protection and warmth.

    5.Eat better. Sleep quietly for a while.

    It may still be a little painful now, but happy to you!

    Hello, it is recommended to apply a hot water bottle to the local area and apply some plasters to invigorate blood circulation (pharmacies have this type of plaster). In recent days, don't lift heavy things, don't move your neck too vigorously, don't keep a posture for too long (such as desk work, etc.), sit for 45 minutes, be sure to stand up and move your neck, such as behind your hands and waist, when your shoulder blades go back, your head and neck should also go up together to loosen your neck muscles, do a 7-10 stroke, and then let your neck gently rotate left and right, 7-10 times in each direction, and finally tilt your cervical spine to the left and right as close as possible to the shoulder blades, 5-6 times in each direction. The sleeping posture must be accurate, the pillow is cushioned to the shoulder blade when lying flat, the side pillow is higher than one shoulder width, especially the side sleep head should not be too forward, and the spine should be kept in a line.

    If it is not good to maintain it for a period of time, it may not be stiff neck, but stiff neck symptoms caused by cervical spine problems. It is recommended to go to the orthopedic department or massage department of a regular TCM hospital for an X-ray examination and perform massage or acupuncture according to the doctor's instructions**. Wishing you good health!

    There is no special way to do this, find someone you trust to help you rub it, the most important thing is to see that it hurts over there, and let him move it for you in the opposite direction, provided that you don't realize it. Sleep on a suitable pillow and preferably on your right side.
