What can i do to let my spine/neck heal after a neck injury?


1 week since i got an injury. it was kind of like whiplash but not in a car, it was me breaking big tree branches and Lifting trash cans full of havy stuff. next day i had extremem neck pain couldn't move it. now i'm better, can turn it with minimal pain but still base of neck gets some like bone pain. what to do to let it heal?

Neck braces will do the trick. The reason for this is to minimise the activity around the area. To make this answer a lot shorter, I only wish to suggest that you take a break from hard work and rest rest rest. Neck injuries take some time to heal.
Please rest until you're fully recovered. Good luck to you.

I'd suggest calling your doctor and asking. We're not experts.

Rest, I know what you are going through I have at least 4 herniated disc in my back with nerve damage to go along with it, and my doctor told me the best thing to do was rest, and try not to do anything that will hurt it.
