Hi,
Yes, it can be stranded muscle or spasm caused by abnormal movement. Sometimes, bruise or muscular injury may cause swelling etc.
Using warm compresses, flexing the neck and massaging it when muscles are in relaxed posture, along with local application of capciasin may be helpful. Using OTC analgesics like acetaminophen or Ibuprofen along with muscle relaxants like Tizanidine or Orphenidine may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
