Back Neck Pain
Hi- i have mild spondylitis as attached. I met a orthopedic doctor who advised me to do some isometry exercise. I have been doing exercise regularly with no result. I noticed that when eat/drink, extreme tooths of the jaws pain s a lot causing the pain radiating to the back neck. I showed up two well known dentists thinking this could be from teeth (I have had successful gum surgery 3 months back). Dentists did not find any tooth issue/there is no cavity. I was prescribed mouthwashes. Please suggest what next to be done as Neck Pain is more when i eat/drink.

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.
