My neck hurts! It's been been hurting since Sunday! It moves around my upper back and my shoulders, but it always hurts! Sometimes it hurts more when I turn my head or shrug my shoulders or when I eat. I went to bed early last night and slept close to ten hours, and today was just as bad!
Sorry I forgot the ticky box and the "I'll give you the real answer in comments" box. You see, I am distracted by my pain!

Chiropractic is a rather sketchy alternative therapy & neck manipulations are particularly risky, so I wouldn't advise going near that unless you're aware of the risks & have a very responsible (which means cautious) chiropractor.

For the record, I'm a devout believer in physio over chiro because of the possible build up of scar tissue from your bones being forced around, but YMMV. Substitute chiro for physio in the above if you prefer.

Those drugstore chemical heat packs are really amazing and give relief if your pain is due to spasms. A lot of athletes say cold for overuse injuries, but for me the heat worked the best.

PT is helpful in that they tell you What UR Doin Wrong.
(I slept curled up --> back hurts)
I saw a chiropractor in Chinatown regularly when I was pregnant. I can walk without pain after going there, so A++.
