Handle Neck Pain the Right Way
Feb 6th 2020
We all know a time when we have fallen asleep in an awkward position and had the unexpected pleasure of waking up to a “crick in our neck.” Having an aching neck makes it very difficult to turn our head to check our blind spots when driving, bend our neck forward to check our cell phone, or enjoy knitting or crocheting without discomfort or pain.
