acute pain in neck

30 yr old male patient came to my office due to neck pain for 1 day. he overworked and slept for 1 hr only. the following day his neck felt so stiff he cant turn his neck side to side and up and down and worst pain is when he flexes his neck down.

Tx: SI 3

lateral rotation is much better but flexing/extending is still painful.

I was thinking about doing UB 65 and ren 24. then I realized I never used ren 24 alone for this problem but always used with ub65.

tx: ren 24 ==> not much improvement

then UB 65 flex/ext improves about 70%.
