General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I would recommend your husband to see a physiotherapist. In this case, the physiotherapist may help the hurting muscles to relax, thus relieve the pain and also will give exercises to strengthen the neck and back muscles and prevent further damage of the tendons and muscles.

I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.

Regards,
