In the absence of a history of injury, or absence of evidence of a beginning boil or carbuncle, consider the neck pain due to inflammation of muscles (“muscular rheumatism" ). Muscle spasm with resulting
tilting of the head and stiffness of the neck is common.
Treatment:
1. Apply dry heat to the neck for forty minutes, twice daily.
2. Rub on oil of wintergreen twice daily.**
3. Protect the neck against exposure to cold or wet.
4. Aspirin grain 10 (0.6 gram), four times a day if needed.
Note by Rob: **(2.) Oil of Wintergreen into muscles dilute 1:1 with carrier oil.

Neck Pain Cured by Juicing Scottso (Boca Raton, Fl) on 12/18/2016
Not sure why I copied this remedy on 12/24/14, it somehow caught my eye in it's sincerity. So I have been sufferering from horrendous neck pain for the past two years. I have bought too many pillows to count. Wake up in the middle of the night and cannot go back to sleep. Morning after morning with horrific migraines, and pressure in my head so strong that I felt like my eyes would pop out of my head.
Just had a blood test around Thanksgiving, my blood sugar showed 146 in a 'normal range' of 50-99. I remembered this saved post about juicing for diabetes....I searched it and started doing it around the beginning of this month, on or about Dec 1. It's the juice blend that includes one cucumber, some celery, parsley, lemon and ginger, all organic, all juiced and the first thing into your stomach in the morning.
I have not yet returned for a follow up blood test...BUT, after 3 days of this juice blend, I no longer have neck pain. I no longer wake up with migraines. I no longer have my eyes popping out of my head. I no longer wake up in the middle of the night without being able to fall back asleep. I feel like I'm walking on clouds.
In all fairness, I want to say that after the first glass of this juice blend, I had no craving to drink coffee. Not sure how the fact that I stopped all caffeine intake would affect me, but the end result was positive.
GOOD LUCK.

04/04/2021 UPDATE:
As a sequel to my earlier post (above), I now wish to promote the Mark!! (improved) version!!
Instead of the rolled towel alone, I now incorporate the same rolled towel into the pillow case I.e. it goes inside the pillow case (with the pillow also inside the pillow case) down one side of the pillow. That way the towel supports the neck and the pillow supports the head.
I have always preferred a less bulky pillow than most other people I know.

After a neck injury i got overdoing it at the gym i was unable to look left or right without terrible discomfort. i tried sleeping a few nights without a pillow and although it was a little uncomfortable to fall asleep i was mostly healed by the following morning. two additional nights of this and i was 100%. its worth a try if you have back pain too.
