Head and neck pain

Are you having a pain in your neck or head somewhere? Here are a few tips to figure out what is causing it.

Is there any obvious reason why you have it ? If you were just hit there or had a little too much to drink last night, you'll just need to give it some time. Of course if it was a major injury or you are bleeding uncontrollably, you should consult a doctor immediately.

But if nothing is that clear, try just having a drink of cool not cold water. Dehydration results in lots of this type of problem. Have you had this before? If it is a recurring problem you should consult our office and have a more thorough evaluation. If this is the first time, try an ice pack. Only use it for 15 minutes on your neck or 10 minutes at a time on your head. You might also try getting some extra rest and relaxation. Even just an extra hour can make a difference.
