A member asked:
Should i do neck exercises & physio during acute phase of cervical radiculopathy or just wear collar & how long should i wear it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: there is a lot to this question. First of all, I would make sure that you see a neurologist for a complete evaluation before exercising. You may need an MRI of the neck as well. Once that is done you can move forward with gentle traction, limited exercise. I would wear a c collar until you are evaluated. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.
