Do neck exercises. Two types of neck exercises can help ease and prevent neck pain: gentle range-of-motion exercises and isometric exercises. Apply moist heat to the neck before performing the exercises. Each exercise should be done five times per session, three sessions per day. Range-of-motion exercises help stretch neck muscles.
Suture joints are one type of fibrous joint. They are the type of joint that connect the flat bones of the skull which meet in a tooth-like pattern. The fibrous tissue of these joints is continuous with the periosteum, and the joints are synarthroses (immovable).
Sutures, commonly called stitches, are sterile surgical threads that are used to repair cuts (lacerations). They also are used to close incisions from surgery. Some wounds (from trauma or from surgery) are closed with metal staples instead of sutures.
