Cervical muscle strain may cause some fibers to tear, leading to hematoma and a stabbing pain sensation in the patient. To fully relax and recover, it is recommended to immediately stop strenuous activities and get adequate rest. If the pain is significant or even causes difficulty in movement, medical evaluation at a hospital is necessary to establish an appropriate treatment plan; avoid blind or unguided treatments.
