Home Remedies for Neck Pain

                                                                                                           1. Ice Pack

Ice is one of the simplest remedies for neck pain. The cold temperature will help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. A bag of frozen peas also works well.

• Put some crushed ice cubes in a plastic bag.
• Wrap the plastic bag in a thin towel.
• Put the ice pack on your neck for not more than 15 minutes at a time.
• Follow this remedy every two to three hours for the first 24 hours.

Note: Never apply ice directly on your skin.

2. Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy is another very effective home remedy for neck pain. It can easily be done at home in the shower. The force of the water on the affected body part will help reduce pain as well as soreness.

• Target the neck area with warm water for three to four minutes in the shower.
• Switch to cold water and target the neck for 30 to 60 seconds.
• Repeat as many times as necessary.

While the hot water will increase blood circulation and ease off stiff muscles, cold water will help reduce inflammation.

Note: While you are in the shower, make sure to keep your neck straight, and do not turn your neck in any direction
