Can you please elucidate on your question and what a creek is? I shall be able to help you better. Thanks! Did you mean pain in the neck or neck sprain? Visit a physician to identify the exact problem. Any kind of injury, muscle spasm or spinal cord problems result in a neck sprain. Place the neck in a comfortable position. Improper method or posture of sleeping or sitting is also the culprits. Placing a cold compress on the affected area is helpful. Avoid hot packs, as they result in inflammation. Hot water bath proves beneficial, especially if the sprain is caused due to cold.
Over-the-counter pain killers are useful. Sitting too long in front of the television or computer, driving for long hours, playing for a long time are some of the reasons for neck pain. Supplements of vitamins and minerals are also recommended, especially with painkillers. Avoid stress, especially in the neck region. Restrain yourself from lifting weights. Tylenol is also an effective remedy. Improper jerks in the course of sleep also results in a neck pain. Take the guidance of a physiotherapist for further guidance and for some neck exercises.
