Effective treatment. Neck pain is rarely a symptom of a more serious problem and can usually be relieved by taking simple steps at home. Painkillers from the pharmacy are often the best way to treat neck pain, taken orally or applied directly to the site of pain.
2. Heat â Heat treatment can be used alternately with cold applications to help relax the pulled muscles and tendons which are causing your neck pain. To apply heat to the affected area on your neck try using a hot water bottle, heating pad or apply one of the many heat rub creams available in your local drug store.
