Cyropracters are good for straightnening boies. You have to first access the cause of why your neck is bent? It normally works like a chain, so it could be your hamstrings, pulling your back, pulling your shoulders pulling your neck. General streching of the thights, bum, back, shouloders and neck should loosen everything up. Dont bounce when you strech though. Heidi

(m)\n\nApply heat directly to neck maybe a heating pad 20-30 minutes 2-3 times a day. Long, hot shower with the water beating on the neck, slowly turn head side to side looking over each shoulder until the count of five. Repeat three times. Apply topical cream such as icy hot or tiger balm. Shut bedroom window because cold breezes may cause awkward positioning to keep warm resulting in a stiff neck. Get a proper pillow. Reserve couch for sitting, alot of times there is not enough room to lie down resulting in stiff neck. If the pain persists after this, make an appointment with your doctor.

Stretches, scrunches,  and sit ups.  Any exercise helps.  Go around when you have the chance and suck your gut in,  that also helps  and good posture.

Try a neck pillow while sleeping and go to a message therapist, you will be surprised on how much better you'll feel.  I can give you a neck massage.   Where do you live?

My chiropractor said as long as you don't force it you're fine. Have you ever gone to one? They could tell you even better if it isn't causing damage. Plus it's better to get your back/neck realigned regularly.

Change your position frequently and sit on a pillow...like a throw pillow.

You could go to the chiropractor, who could take an x-ray and then adjust the bones accordingly to fix your shoulder. I went to the chiropractor for my back, knee, neck problems and now they have significantly improved.

You can practice the old fashioned way by putting a book on your head, and balancing it, while walking.\nCorrect posture, however, is standing straight up, chin up, stomach sucked in, chest out a little (too much makes you look like you think you're superior), and shoulders back

You might have a pinched nerve in your neck.  Go see a chiropractor.

This sounds EXACTLY like a pinched nerve. This is a job for a Chiropractor, if that is the case. Some Medical doctors are skeptical about Chiropractors. So was I, but it's been like a small theraputic miracle. \n\nTry it four 4-8 sessions and you'll be convinced (it takes more than one session for good progress and you'll be a tad sore after your first couple adjustments). \n\nTiger Balm and Peppermint Lotion are great for external muscle relaxers. \n\nYou'd be suprised what a few simple stretches before and after bed will do you. Yoga and Tai' Chi (Martial Art) are also excellent if you have the time and energy.\n\nRe-align your Spine and Chi dude.

Stand up and stretch your arms above your head! The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) suggests, "Do the 'hug your best friend.' Wrap your arms around your body and turn as far as you can to the left, then to the right." \nExercise regularly to keep the abdominal muscles strong to help support the spine. \nAvoid wearing high–heeled shoes. Choose shoes that offer good foot support and comfort. Some styles can affect the body's center of gravity. Flat shoes are better. \nLook at yourself in the mirror. Is your posture good? Think about your posture and how to maintain it throughout the days' activities. Practice makes perfect!

Sounds to me like your back is out of place. I would go to a competent chiropractor and have him check you out.

Thick = 1\nThin  = 2\n\nAs you can see there is a space between your neck and your shoulders so when you lie down you need something to support your neck so it's straight... blah blah blah\n\nBut if you have too many/too little pillows your neck tilts to 1 side a little to much... it's bad for your back, neck and spine. \n\nIf you/I have a sore neck, do some neck stretches for a couple of days and if that doesn't work go see a doc.

Don't slouch.  Be conscience of standing tall and keeping your spine straight.

yes really common - you will have strained either your trapezius or rhomboid muscle \n\ntake ibuprofen and use a warming pad to get it moving \n\nsomeone massaging it might help too\n\nit should settle in about 2-3 days - if not you might need a little manipulation from a chiropractor or therapist
