Dr. Lin Yunfei
A neck muscle strain typically heals within 2 to 4 weeks. Measures such as taking anti-inflammatory medications to improve microcirculation can be highly effective. Additionally, applying local heat therapy appropriately during daily life is beneficial. In cases of more severe strains, recovery generally takes significantly longer. Once a muscle strain occurs, it must be taken seriously, and prompt treatment and intervention are essential.
