Pulled Muscle in the neck

[T TOTAL]

Ive gone and pulled a muscle in my neck to the point its painful supporting my heads weight. Its right in the upper rear trap/neck ares to the right of the spine...
With this being the case is it suggested perhaps that ice can still be applied to help with reducing any swelling or is it not recommended due to the location and/or because it'll just make it seize up more?? Its worse in the morning upon rising ( i say that but im not flaming sleeping 'cos of it ) and also in the evening when not being as mobile.

If its worse in the morning it is likely to be due to a jammed joint - as muscle problems tend to be easier in the morning on account of the fact they have had all night to rest.

The solution for a jammed up joint - manipulation - see a chiropractor! and the sooner the better, otherwise it'll take longer to fix!

That might explain why pain killers and anti inflammatory's aren't really making much difference.
Appreciate the reply..

I agree the chiropractor put me in this thing that kind of slowly pulled my head away from my body and i could feel the difference from day one.This was after getting hit by a car my head felt like it was gonna fall off but its much better now. it only took a few weeks to fix

Couldnt get an appointment with a chiropractor at short notice, but managed to get one with a BOWEN Technique type person...supposed to be real good. Anything will help at this stage i imagine..
