How to Fix Neck Pain: Simple Solutions That Actually Work

Neck pain is one of those annoying issues that creeps up on you after a long day at your desk, a bad night’s sleep, or even a stressful week. We have all had this, i keep my tension in my neck, and have cervical spondylosis, so it's important to me to keep doing neck stretching (if i can), massaging and using the right pillow .With a few simple changes to your routine—and a couple of handy tools—you can ease the pain and prevent it from coming back.

Let’s dive into how to fix neck pain with practical, everyday solutions.

1. Start with Your Sleep Setup: The Right Pillow Matters

Believe it or not, your pillow can be a major culprit when it comes to neck pain. If your neck isn’t properly supported while you sleep, you might wake up feeling stiff or sore.

What to look for in a pillow:

• Ergonomic or cervical pillows that support the natural curve of your neck

• Memory foam or latex for consistent support

• Adjustable height or firmness to match your sleeping style (back, side, or stomach)

If you’re a side sleeper, go for a thicker pillow to keep your neck aligned with your spine. Back sleepers should aim for medium support, and stomach sleepers should consider switching positions—this one’s tough on the neck!

Try our brilliant butterfly pillow for all the support you need!

2. Use a Massage Gun to Release Tension

Massage guns have exploded in popularity, and for good reason. They’re a fast, effective way to loosen up tight muscles and improve blood flow.

How to use a massage gun on your neck:

• Use a soft attachment or ball head

• Keep the speed low to medium

• Avoid directly hitting bones or the spine

• Target the upper traps and base of the neck (not directly on the cervical spine)

• Spend about 30–60 seconds per area, 1–2 times a day

Pro tip: Always stay relaxed and breathe while using it. If anything feels painful or causes tingling, stop immediately.

3. Stretch It Out Daily

A few simple neck stretches can go a long way toward releasing tension and preventing stiffness.

Try these daily:

• Neck tilts (ear to shoulder)

• Chin tucks (great for posture)

• Neck rotations (slowly turn head left and right)

• Upper trapezius stretch (tilt your head to one side and gently pull with your hand)

Hold each stretch for about 15–30 seconds and repeat 2–3 times. Gentle is the name of the game here—no yanking or bouncing.

4. Improve Your Posture (Especially at Work)

Bad posture is one of the most common causes of neck pain, especially if you’re glued to a screen all day.

Tips to improve posture at work:

• Raise your monitor to eye level

• Sit with your shoulders relaxed and back straight

• Keep your feet flat on the floor

• Use a chair with lumbar support

• Take frequent breaks (every 30–60 minutes) to stretch and move around

Consider using a standing desk or posture corrector if you're really struggling to keep good form.

Try our posture corrector, or back support brace to improve posture and become realigned!
