In my opinion you must go for regular physiotherapy sessions and apply modalities like ift / US / hot pack and laser...and kindly go for few blood tests as well like calciumvitamin d vitamin b 12... becoz if these have deficient ranges in your body then you have to take medications ( supplements) which do not have any kind of side effects... if you have any kind of trigger points then u must go for soft tissue manipulations manually or by a technique known as M2T blade that helps in relieving triggger points...
Next Steps
Visit a physiotherapist near you asap...

Sir first please give me details about your job profile as that mainly impacts the neck pain. As you were told by doctors that you have cervical spondylitis. You should go for Physiotherapy treatment which includes modalities like TENS and Ultrasound to decrease pain tenderness and spasm. Along with this you should also get Mobilisation exercises for increasing independence in ADLs. And learn home exercises which are to be done at twice daily with 5 -10 repetition set so as to maintain the effect and live pain free Life.
Next Steps
You should consult the nearby Physiotherapist
Health Tips
Ensure that you get the manual therapy done definitely along with modalities as simply modalities would not give long term effect.

Hi, I understand your concern. Just doing exercises is not sufficient for cervical spondylosis. Multimodal therapy is essential. During the initial painful situation IFT/ SWD will help to bring down pain. If it is severe, a soft cervical collar will be needed. In addition pain killers and muscle relaxants will take care of the acute problem. This should be followed by exercises for your neck - isometrics. ALso lifestyle changes including positioning your table and chair in your workplace to a comfortable position is most important.
