Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My MRI cervical report impression is mild posterior protrusions from C3-4 to C5-6 levels causing indentation of the thecal sac. I am 32-year-old and a desk worker, need to sit 8 to 10 hours on the computer every day. I am suffering from neck pain, stiffness in the neck, and stress. Please suggest me whether daily exercise will help, does the above condition will heal or not. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It is an early change in cervical spondylosis. Kindly follow following instructions.

1) Change the working habit, and prolonged chair sitting as it cause misalignment of the cervical region leads to decrease mobility, either take a break in every two hours for 10 minutes.

2) Can do neck physiotherapy slowly flexion and extension.

3) Apply cervical collar if you are working prolong.

4) Check your vitamin D level and go for tablet Shelcal D one tablet for four weeks. You can prevent progression. At present, you have no risk. Connect me if any questions.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
