People often report "sleeping wrong" and waking with neck pain that is excruciating when they try to turn their head. Sleeping in a position that keeps the neck turned or 'torqued" can cause the joints of the neck to become irritated, swell and literally become locked. This locking will cause intense pain when attempting to turn the head. Ice and gentle range of motion will help to loosen the neck. Manual physical therapy will allow the joints to move freely again.
Call us at (724) 477-3181 immediately if you wake up with this type of pain.
Do not suffer for days when the symptoms can be relieved with one treatment.
