Q. What can be done to reduce the gap that occurs due to spondylosis?
Hello doctor,
My mother is 44 years old and has had spondylosis for the past two years. What should I do to decrease this gap in her neck? She started physiotherapy eight days ago.
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.
