My dad has cervical spondylitis. what are the necessary measures to consider?

Symptoms: Treatment is based on symptoms, neurological exam, as well as radiographic findings. Pure neck pain is generally treated conservatively. The presence of nerve root or spinal cord compression is important to consider as well as symptoms of weakness and/or numbness which could change the type of treatment. This all needs to be discussed with his doctor. If minimal symptoms, no treatment is needed.

Common occurrence: Cervical spondylosis is very common the symptoms vary from person to person and depends on the severity of the disease, the width of the spinal canal , age etc. The treatment also varies between cervical traction , medications, muscle relaxants , tns, injections, esi , and rarely all the way to operation !
