I have clinical curiosity, simply because a lot of the books pops had laying around growing up were on the order of "clinical oriented anatomy" that focused around common injury and how they happen and how things are usually assessed. in fact that title is one I stole from him and never gave back because it was that good

good luck healing that shit - exercises from the spinal qigong set like turtle neck, crane neck, would probably go a long way towards making this normal - but its very tough to deal with (or accelerate repairs in any way shape or form) when things are acute.
when I have acute issues like that - one technique to use is to make the point bright, with the mind's eye. very bright, keep the focus of your awareness trained on it as if the focus of your consciousness is like a focusing laser. it gets made brighter and brighter until the mind's eye is maxed or saturated on the idea "whitewash" the "video" and then a slow return to calm normal.
one of the methods of the african bushmen in their healing dances is ostensibly throwing "darts" into a sick area - the entire group of them who are doing the stomping and chanting, raising the vibration of the entire group, every one of them does this as they dance past the one to be healed...and on subsequent circlings, they are "removed"...
it was funny studying that culture, I discovered that the / is used for that clicking sound - so they call this "healing chi" or whatever the reality-abstraction truly is, they call it "n/um" so it sounds like n*click*um
and it reminds me of the smiley
