I'll come rub it for you. :smug:
Stab yourself in the neck until you no longer have a neck.
Put a heating pad on it.
I have chronic headaches from neck tension, so I have a habit of cracking my neck a lot, which helps some. Also hot showers.
Stretch it out, babe!
Massage, apply heat, stretch, and when it gets really bad a chiropractic adjustment.
I used to do this but I found over the years that it was only a temporary fix and the pain came back worse so I was better off not doing it :/Quote:

Rub rub rub!
Oh, and muscle relaxers.
And xanax and alcohol.
Have someone crack your back! Actually, that's probably bad in the long run, but it helps me a lot. I get a bad crick in my neck each day because of my terrible reading posture at work.
Stop being weak. :colbert:
Gently stretch the muscles. I emphasize the gentle because some of my patients assume a stretch would mean pulling on the muscle like there's no tomorrow. You can apply a heating pad to relieve the pain and to loosen the muscles up a bit.
Play Civ until the neck feels better.
Sleep on your back tonight and try to wake up with a jolt, it should crack back into place.
