Neck Strain

The intricate natural design of the neck allows for a lot of flexibility, but also vulnerability. Neck strain can occur from holding the neck in a straining, less natural position too long such as holding something heavy on one side of the body, sleeping in an awkward position or staying in a position too long viewing a technology device like a phone or computer. Luckily this condition usually lasts just a few days, so if you suffer pain or discomfort for longer you may be dealing with a different root cause. Here is what you can do to deal with temporary neck strain.
