Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The spondylosis has caused a reduction in the intervertebral spaces. This occurs due to the weakness of the muscles of the neck. I will advise following the exercises which help regain muscle strength and improve the space in the intervertebral cervical region. Activities include static neck exercises and neck stretching exercises.
