It can, but if it doesn't that isn't the sole problem. Massage can be all you need or a part of a well rounded and individualized care plan.
Absolutely massage can ease muscular neck pain. Make sure you know why you might have a tight neck. Most of the time, posture and strengthening helps long term.
yes, but often does not get at the underlying issue. Neck pain often reflects a miscalibration of joint [position sense. That's what we address as chiropractors.
Yes it can if it is just a muscle issue, usually it is more than that and involves the spine. Chiropractic and massage are a good combination that can help.
Massage can help but stretching and physical therapy is also helpful.
it can help along with possible chiropractic and neck/shoulder stretches. I would consult with your doctor first then find a local massage therapist and chiropractic and get a treatment plan that is best for your particular issue.
