Neck Therapist

Neck Therapist
What proffesional is best to treat Neck Pain?

My neck hurts extremely bad this morning.. everytime I turn it to the left I have a sharp pain shoot through my whole neck/left shoulder are. I posted another question about this on her and only go 3 answers.. and one else want to suggest anything? I’m trying to decide wether to go to the doctor, chiropractor, or a massage therapist.. I have health insurance, but still dont want to go to the “wrong” one first.. please help

With only that for a symptom, I would massage the area, take a couple of ibuprofen and don’t my head to the left. Seriously.
About an hour after you take the ibuprofen, do some gently movements and stretches to loosen the area. Apply heat and see if that makes it feel better. If not, go with ice.

Most minor things like that resolve themselves without medical intervention.
Now if you have other symptoms, that would give you a clue.
Just the pain in Your Neck, I would wait a day or 2 and see if it improves with ice packs, massage and pain reliever.
I am a firm believer in taking the wait and see approach. The old “take 2 aspirin and call me in the morning” is solid advice as many things resolve themselves with time and there is no need for medical intervention.
