This could be many things... if it just came on recently, chances are you pulled a muscle, and that will fix itself usually in about 2 weeks. If you've had it for awhile, then you could have a spinal issue, in which case a good chiropractor could help find and fix the problem. I don't know your age, but if it persists, make sure you see a doctor to diagnose the problem. In the meantime, heat and tylenol will help. I hope you feel better.

Stiff necks can be a sign of another serious health problem. If it is just from lifting or sleeping awkwardly then that is ok. If you cannot bend your neck down, this is the hallmark sign of meningitis and you should see a physician immediately. If not, just take some ibuprofen or naproxen to help minimize pain.

it depends what it is caused from, did you sleep funny or do you have a whiplash or something like that, any of the heat preparations like deep heat is good, slow neck rotations will help to get rid of the stiffness, and if all else fails, go to a physio or chiropractor for instant relief.

Heating and icing your stiff neck will help the pain ease away.

take advil or aleve. You probably pulled or pinched something so it will take a couple of days to go away. Go to a chiropractor if nothing helps

Heat for 15 minutes...stretch...then ice for 15 minutes. Do this until it feels better.

turn your neck as far as it will go, no matter how bad it hurts, and hold it there untill it stops hurting
