Stiff neck is too uncomfortable, where can I treat it?

Stiff neck is actually an early warning signal and the earliest manifestation of cervical spondylosis. It is often caused by fatigue, cold or changes in sleeping environment, such as changes in the hardness of pillows and mattresses. For example, traveling to a strange environment and staying in a hotel are likely to bring the risk of stiff neck. What kind of treatment should be taken after stiff neck? First of all, don't worry too much, because the neck movement will be limited. Don't try to move to any range. The best way is to treat it with hot compress first. Because hot compress can relieve muscle fatigue and promote local blood circulation. At the same time, drugs can be used externally, such as ointment for relieving inflammation and pain, plaster for relieving inflammation and pain or promoting blood circulation, to relieve local pain symptoms. For very serious stiff neck, at the earliest time, for example, within 3-5 days, anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs or muscle relaxation drugs can be taken orally to relieve local symptoms. As an orthopedic surgeon, I don't advocate cervical massage and massage. I can relax my shoulder muscles properly or massage myself. If you have a stiff neck once or twice occasionally, it's not a big problem. If you have frequent stiff neck recently, 3-4 times a month or more, it suggests that the cervical vertebra may be overused, or the posture is not good, the living habits are not good, or the height and hardness of the pillow are problematic, suggesting that you may need to adjust your lifestyle appropriately. If you still don't get better, you need to go to the hospital as soon as possible to find out the reason.
