Massage. Heat. Stretches. Relaxation.

If injured or no better in a few days then go to Chiropractor, Physio or Doctor.

Unless the stiff neck is in conjunction with flu like symptoms then go straight to Doctor.

Answer 3

Seek immediate advice from a doctor for stiff neck, particularly when there is excruciating pain. Place a hot water bag on the stiff neck once every hour until the stiffness lessens or disappears. Apply a pain relief ointment. Get a prescription from the doctor, if necessary. Use the ointment on the affected area to warm it up. This will gradually facilitate easier movement. Go in for chiropractic treatment on the advice of a doctor. Get your neck and shoulder area massaged by your partner or by a qualified massage therapist. Take painkillers as a short-term relief from neck pain. Make sure to ask your doctor about side effects.  Hope this helps.  :)
