I used to get a stiff neck on days that I slept wrong or had my pillow too high or too low. Usually it would go away during the day. But over the last few weeks, my neck has been really stiff. I can move it to side to side (causing it to crack, which it never used to do) but it feels really weird to move my head backwards. It feels like there is a huge bubble of air in there that is preventing me from moving it all the way back -- it feels like it needs to be cracked! But nothing works. I think part of it has to do with work; I've spent the whole summer in front of a computer.
I went to a masseuse and she helped relieve some pressure, but the "air bubble" feeling is still there, way deep in my neck.
I am going to book my very first appointment with a chiropractor this week. I guess my question is, will it help? Has anyone had similar kind of tension? Is there anything I can do at home to relieve it? And how about acupuncture? I'm willing to try it if it works.
Thanks!
