- Hands-on treatment – some form of touch to the neck has been shown time and again to be powerful. The gentle touch of a specialist can help calm down even the most severe of neck pain. The right touch will be discovered via a physical examination.
- Exercise – while many may think exercise will be harmful or hurt, the exact opposite is true. Careful selection and prescription of the right exercise is powerful as relieving pain and restoring lost motion. Holding your neck stiff, scared to move will only make it hurt more…so move often based on the recommendation of the specialist who evaluated you

Further, being told what to expect in terms of recovery is empowering. Knowing that neck pain is very common and tends to recover quickly when provided with the right stimulus is comforting to many. So make sure whoever evaluates your neck does this part.
