@nsainato Nadia, it is probably the position of your neck when sleeping that is starting the issues. That happens to me if my neck is not properly supported. Your primary care doctor can send you to physical therapy, but before that, they should get some imaging to rule of spine instability because that can be dangerous if someone works on your neck if it is unstable. My PT also does myofascial release which helps a lot by loosening the tightness in my neck. That is specialized training and you can search for a provider at https://www.mfrtherapists.com/

Here is our discussion about myofascial release therapy for information.

If your doctor wants to consult Mayo, they can do that. There is a place on the Mayo website for medical professionals to consult specialists there.

I hope that information helps!
