Sometimes , complaints of heaviness in head. no pain in back or knees.  x ray report says initial scoliosis.   what further course of action should we take ? plz advise. She was diagnosed with cervical spondalytis for which homeopathic treatment has been very helpful to her till now.

Greetings,  balance issues both in standing and walking are a sign seen typical in old age for various reasons. Cervical spondylitis absolutely not an issue.  Rather than thinking about each as different issues let us solve it collectively.

Do the cat/cow stretch. Get on all fours, with your arms straight and your hands directly under your shoulders; your knees hip-width apart.
