- Press gently until the surface
- discomfort has subsided. Then,
- press firmly and massage in
- tiny circles until the deeper
- pain is alleviated. Total re-
- covery may take several days
- if there's torn muscles, but
- this treatment should enable
- you to move your neck without
- serious pain. Shoulder tight-
- ness may be the cause of
- the more serious crick. Treat
- shoulder tension at the first
- sign of discomfort.
