Stiff Neck
I have a stiff neck. It's not a one off incident. This has been happening sporadically for years now. I shouldn't have ignored this for so long, but unfortunately I already had. What can be the possible causes? and, who is the right specialist to contact, a general physician, a physiotherapist or a chiropractor?
