Suggest Remedy For Stiffness In The Neck
I hurt my lower neck golfing. Right where the lower neck meets the upper back, it feels like I was hit with a hammer on my spine. My muscles in my neck and shoulders near the neck are very stiff. I do not have tingling in my arms or hands, just stiffness in my neck. what is the best way to fix whatever is wrong? I am a very active 59 year old male and have been doing crossfit for 5 months with no injuries.

hi,
thank you for providing the brief history.
As you have stiffness in the neck I feel it is muscle pull. this might be trapezitis. Taking a thorough clinical examination and physical therapy will help to reduce the inflammation and pain. Also golfers injury needs a thorough clinical sports exmaination to rule out another problems.
In my clinical practice most cases with neck muscle spasm like trapezitis respond well to therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy.
