Neck Pain

Neck pain can dramatically affect your life. It can happen suddenly, from obvious causes like a car accident, or it can increase gradually from medical conditions like arthritis. The good news is, whatever is causing your neck pain, your doctor can help you get relief. Dr. Wilson Almonte and Dr. Ted Lin offer a wide range of medical services, including neck pain treatment.

Home Remedies for Neck Pain Relief

There are some easy remedies you can try at home to get relief from neck pain. Here are a few ideas:
