Treatment Options for Neck
The best treatment for your neck pain depends on its cause. Here are a few strategies from our Hinge Health physical therapists and doctors for mild to moderate pain. Always remember to discuss your options with your physician.
Exercise therapy. Stretching and strengthening exercises can effectively manage neck tightness and pain.
Ice and heat. Alternate between an ice pack and heating pad every 20 minutes to reduce inflammation and relieve stiffness.
OTC medication. Ibuprofen, naproxen, and acetaminophen can alleviate neck pain, but ensure they're safe for you.
A TENS unit uses low-level electrical currents to ease pain, offering a safe and non-invasive treatment option.
Traction. Using devices to gently stretch the neck, this method often requires professional supervision but can provide relief.
Steroid injections. For severe pain, cortisone injections into the neck can reduce inflammation and pain, targeting spinal nerves or facet joints.
Complementary treatments. Consider massage, acupuncture, or chiropractic care for additional neck pain relief.
For a more proven, long-term solution, check your eligibility to our free program, paid for by most employers.
