You can treat a neck strain sustained during upper-limb muscle exercises with acupuncture. In daily life, eat more red meat, chicken, and similar foods, and use a neck collar for immobilization to prevent further injury. Avoid greasy and spicy foods. To achieve complete recovery, it is essential to relieve nerve compression and promote smooth flow of energy through the meridians. After bleeding has stopped, apply blood-activating and stasis-resolving herbal medicine externally, combined with oral medication.
