Hi! Prince. How long is your pain? Whats your occupation? Is the pain constant at all times or it varies according to the neck positions? Do you sit slouched?
Need to find wheres the pain originating from. Is it from muscles or a its bcos of the cervical disc protrusion.
You could meet a Chiro or a experienced Physical Therapist expert in spine manual therapy. You need to work on your posture. Pls dont try to do all awkward movements, which could worsen the pain.
