Pain is always best treated through non pharmacological pain management which means treating pain such as left neck pain through massage, yoga or other advanced physical therapies. This is because managing pain with medications can lead to dependency, addiction and also other unpleasant side affects that may end up being worse than the original pain. Medications also are not targeted to specific parts of your body as they are ingested and the drug affects all parts of your body, both healthy and pain free areas as well as areas in pain. Some of these drugs, such as oxycodone are widely known to be easily abused not only by the person that they are prescribed to, but also by other members of the household, particularly children. This unnecessary side effect is one of the biggest reasons why non pharmacological pain management is a much better solution for long term pain mitigation.
