is it pain just in the neck or does the pain/numbness/tingling go down your arm/shoulder? I'm not sure what log rolls are, but I do know about neck pains. Most neck pains are just a strained muscle- which all you would need is an anti-inflammatory (Advil 400-600mg by mouth every 6-8 hours as needed), heating pads, and make sure you're not straining your neck when you sleep and to rest.
However, it can be more if you have a shooting pain or numbness or weakness in your arm starting from you neck. This could mean that you pulled a disc (very rare in young people), but it can be.
See how it feels over the next several days and y ou should be much better.
Oh- and I have to say this- NEVER go to a chiropractor- I have operated on way too many people's spines b/c they were "manipulated" by chiropractors- no one should be doing that to your spine.
Best of luck,

Oh i know what your going threw! At tumbling one day I was casually just jumping up and down on the trampoline and when I landed a pain shot threw my neck. I felt like I was going to die because it hurt so bad to turn my head side to side or up and down. I went to the emergancy room (not like super emergancy like that) and i was given pain killers. The lady said I probably just pulled a muscle and to stretch it next time. So I just took off cheer for a little till it felt good enough to move. If your case is like mine then you should just ice/heat your neck and take a break for a little untill it doesnt hurt as much. Hope this helped
