How can I get rid of a stiff neck that's triggering migraines?

Neurology Sport Medicine

I am a light sleeper who frequently suffers from stiff neck and migraines due to my stiff neck. I suspect that this may be due to my sleeping position, quality of sleep and pillow. I have been relying on panadol extras for the stiff neck and migraines till date, but lately they are not as effective anymore. Thanks for the advice!

If the neck is especially stiff only when a migraine occurs, it is likely that the migraine is causing the stiff neck and not vice versa.

So the treatment would be treatment of the migraine. If the neck is chronically stiff, seeing a physiotherapist may help.
