A member asked:

I have had persistent neck pain for 3 months now and x-ray has clearly shown loss of cervical lordosis. the doctors has however just prescribed spinal massage and no cervical retraction. what is your take on this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cervical strain : Is this a post-traumatic consequence? Would typically use PT and initiate exercise early. Massage is comforting but of little benefit by 8-10 weeks. Acupuncture can be amazing
