Spasm of neck muscles causes pain, which in turn triggers more spasm, pain and stiffness. This vicious cycle can be broken with sufficient doses of regular painkilling and anti-inflammatory drugs.

These, together with physiotherapy and professionally prescribed neck exercise, can help shorten the time taken for the return of normal neck function.
