My mother has been suffering from cervical spondylitis and due to which her several body parts are paining and sometimes suffers from one side body pain. How can it be curable?

Hello. This is due to continous activity of the spine leading to vigourous movements of neck, arms/hand. For initial stages of pain/swelling around the neck, best way to reduce pain is by applying ice pack for about 15 minutes. This reduces swelling whereas hot pack might alo help but it is always temporary. Do some gentle neck movements like touching chin to chest and opposite, turning to the sides along with slow and gentle rotations. Do some quick stretches: bending fingers down with other hand to feel stretch on front of forearm muscles. Do neck strecth- bend neck on side and slightly in the front with other hand fixed on the side of chair. This is the most effective stretch for reducing neck pain Avoid lifting any kind of weight more than 8-10 pounds on the painful side. Continue with your pain medications and remember to break neck posture every 1-2 hourly to avoid further pain and stress on the spine.
