Whether from heavy lifting, exercise, previous injury, or just sleeping crooked, millions of Americans wake up with sore necks in the morning.  Luckily there are several methods to relieve your neck pain; the simplest being just rolling your neck, stretching it out, and taking a hot shower.  More complex changes might include consulting a chiropractor who might be able to fix your neck through massage and offer exercises that will help to relieve future pain.  You might also consider changing pillows or mattresses; a goose down pillow contours to the shape of your head and offers a great deal more support than a standard stuffed pillow. Modern spring mattresses can still be rough on people with sensitive joints or muscles, and a foam mattress might offer better support.

In addition to these changes, there are of course medicinal supplements like Tylenol or Aspirin that can help to relieve your pain… but who wants to start the day off by taking pain relievers?  Strive for a more long term solution!
