Neck pain
cervical spondylosis– chronic condition with radiating pain
this is cervical pain (neck pain) and that's the reason the pain radiates until the shoulder blades. If you keep ice that would help and alongside you can do hot water fermentation. You shall use cervical collar which would help you to reduce the radiating pain i.e. Due to the nerve compression.
You have to go for traction and also you can do ift. Please consult the nearby therapist for quick relief. Use collar will definitely be helpful for him to maintain the good posture. And also cervical pillow can be used which might make you to have better posture of the shoulder neck and arm.
1.neck tilt: from the sitting position, tilt your head down so your chin touches your chest. Hold this position for 5 second s. Return to the starting position and repeat. Do this five times.
2.side-to-side neck tilt. From the same starting position, tilt you neck toward one shoulder, leading with your ear. Hold for 5 seconds and then return to the starting position. Do this five times on each side.
3.neck turn. Look straight ahead, then turn your head to one side, keeping your chin at the same level. Do this five times on each side.
4.neck stretch. Holding the rest of your body straight, push your chin forward, stretching your throat. Hold for 5 seconds. From the same starting position, push your chin backward and hold for 5 seconds. Do the forward and backward stretch five times each. If any of these exercises cause severe pain or weakness in your hands or arms, stop right away and talk with your doctor. We suggest you to wear cervical collar which will help you to improve the cervical angle and also it definitely helps you to improve the neck posture due to which your neck pain is triggered more. The importance of wearing cervical collar is to give good stability to the neck and also it definitely prevents you to have excess neck movements which makes the condition worse. If you wear cervical collar you cannot turn your neck as you like which itself will help you to have better functioning of the cervical spine.
