Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through query.

For home remedies I usually advise my patients having straight cervical spine as:

1. Hot packs.

2. Epsom salt as the magnesium sulfate in Epsom salt works as a natural muscle relaxant that helps reduce swelling and pain.

3. Apple cider vinegar as it can relieve neck pain quickly.

4. Lavender Oil.

Use can use them in combination or one by one also.

Avoid weightlifting etc.

Traction pillows and inversion table should be used regularly.

You be alright with in a week but don't stop using all remedies till one month.

Pillow and table can be used life long.

I hope it helps.

Thanks,
