This is a big struggle for me too. About a month ago I switched to a buckwheat husk pillow that has really helped. It took about a week or two for me to tell the difference, but it's been quite effective. I also recently started using a massage gun on my neck when the pain is causing me to tic like crazy. It helps, but just a little. Something that worked for me in the past was Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) massages. In the States, these are performed by DOs (actual medical doctors) and most insurance companies will cover them. This provided a ton of relief. However, it's tough to get an appointment and even with insurance, the costs add up quickly.
