Your doctor may prescribe a few treatments to help relieve your pain, such as:
- Electrical stimulating devices. These machines ease pain by sending low-voltage electricity to your nerves. Some work from outside your body, such as TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation). Your doctor can implant other devices inside you.
- A soft neck brace or collar to limit movement
- Massage and muscle relaxation techniques
- Deep breathing
- Stretching
