My neck is stiff when I sleep … How can I make my neck not hurt …

In the differential diagnosis with cervical spondylosis, if the patient's head and neck are pulled up slightly with both hands, the symptoms of cervical spondylosis can disappear or be alleviated, while the stiff neck pain is aggravated. It is generally believed that the weight of traction should be paid special attention to because the muscles are in a state of spasm after stiff neck.
