Hello Welcome to Health Care Magic.
Neck pain can be due to nerve compression or can be due to muscle spasm. in your case nerve compression is more likely.
you can have the bandage around neck to restrict its movement. and also if you are working long over the computer, you can correct your postures to avoid such strains.
Hope this information helps you.
Best wishes.
