Avoid traveling in vehicles which don't have good shock absorbers. Avoid traveling in bumpy roads and try to wear a cervical collar which fits well when traveling. These are necessary to reduce further damage to your cervical spine. Medications will also help alleviate your symptoms. But the improvement will be very gradual. May take several months. Be patient and continue your medicines. Avoid activities like jumping and running which can further damage your spine. If your problems worsen however, surgical decompression of the nerve root may be required in the future.
