What Kind Of Doctor To Visit For Neck Stiffness And Headache?
I have on and off neck stiffness for about a week. It comes and gets better to a point with stretching and activity. I have also developed a headache in the temporal area (tender to touch) with slight nausea. No fever. Should I be examined and by what type of doctor.

You can certainly start with your general or primary care physician. This certainly doesn't sound like any type of emergency. They will determine who best to continue your care IF THEY CANNOT do anything for you (which to me it sounds very possible that they will be able). If you would like to get more opinions from a specialist such as myself then, please send your information and more details to bit.ly/drdariushsaghafi
