Q: If you are experiencing severe, chronic, or persistent neck pain it is a good idea to discuss this with a medical professional. Your doctor can examine you, assess any other symptoms, and take x-rays to help determine what’s going on. If your doctor thinks you should see a specialist--such as a physical therapist, osteopath, or chiropractor--they can refer you to another physician they trust. Your doctor may recommend using ice or heat therapy. While ice therapy is good for recent injuries, it's best to use it short term. Heat can help relieve chronic pain and muscle tension, so you may want to try a microwaveable neck wrap. A professional massage is an excellent way to reduce stress, release tension, and help your neck feel better. Make an appointment with a massage therapist ahead of time. When you show up for your massage, let the therapist know that your neck is bothering you, so they can focus on that area of your body.

They will guide you through a series of exercises to help strengthen your muscles and address underlying issues. You’ll also be asked to perform some movements at home.

Q: Pull the rubber bands down carefully, one at a time, to avoid bending the flaps. Now when you load a small projectile into the outer tube and draw back on the plunger using the pencil as a grip, it will sail across the room!
