Have you been in a recent car accident and are having neck and upper back pain? After you make sure you don't have any serious life threating injury here are a couple things to keep you going:
1. Lay down with a rolled up towel under your neck. Just big enough to feel the pressure, but not big enough to take the back of youre head off the floor. This will decrease neck pain and help the curve in your neck.
2. If it was a recent injury use ice, not heat. Ice is great for pain and also decreases the inflammation.
3. Stay acitive. This will keep your range of motion and also decrease pain and eventual scar tissue.
4. If you are still in pain a few days after the collision seek out a chiropractor for an exam and treatment.
