Hi Mark,
There are different ways of imaging the neck on other parts of the body. Generally, though, the best points for neck pain are between the bones on the back of the hand. Usually the opposite hand from the side of the neck pain, but not always. Check both hands for tender points.

This looks promising. Can you use this for neck pain? What body part would be the neck’s opposite? Thanks.

I have found this to be quite helpful for a troubled hip. I have been working on opening hip joints in yoga. I noticed this also is changing my gait and balancing the relative strength/aggressiveness of each leg in walking. Before long I was getting some spasming in the muscles around one hip joint. The work on the sore spots in the opposite shoulder is smoothing things out nicely. Thanks!
