In mild cases, no treatment is required. \n\nWhen treatment is required, it is aimed at relieving pain and preventing permanent spinal cord and nerve root injury. \n\nTreatments include neck brace, anti-inflammatory medication, neck traction, bed rest, and cortisone injections. In some cases, surgery is necessary to remove bone and disc tissue.

You might try going to a massage therapist who has experience working with neck pain. If it is still painful after the massage, you should probably see a doctor. \n\nGood luck.

Well, what kind of surgery have you experienced for your back?\n\nDepending on what has been done, there is an amazing one-time treatment called Atlasprofilax.\n\nJust, if you had vertebraes fixed together it would be a risk!\n\nOtherwise ask a therapist in California - if possible, it's really worth the journey and the costs of approx. 220 dollars.

Treatment options are varied, starting with conservative treatment including anti-inflammatory medications, pain medications if needed and physical therapy.  In some cases, a neck brace may be used, but often is not due to the fact that long term brace use will cause loss of muscle tone in the neck.  Braces are most often used as comfort measures in the case of simple herniation of a single cervical disc.  If the herniation is causing loss of function and/or sensation  due to nerve root compression, surgery may be recommended.  It is very important to  have realistic expectations for surgery, which in most cases would be a simple laminectomy/discectomy where they remove the loose  disc matter and a small amount of bone.  This type of surgery is usually done through the front of the neck with the incision along a natural skin fold, leaving a very minimal scar.  In a number of cases, surgery is NOT effective for pain relief, but WILL often allow you to regain lost function with time and therapy as well as prevent additional loss of function.  Lost sensation may or may not return.  For simple herniations, surgery is rarely more involved than this.  If more extensive surgery is recommended, it would be wise to seek additional medical/surgical opinions.

Shiatsu is worth a try.  The treatment also depends on the type of back pain you have.  If it's a muscular pain, a good massage will help.\n\nIf it's a spinal or disc issue, chiropractic treatment might be better.

From what I've read, yoga can help spondylitis, but it's recommended to get advice from a doctor and an experienced yoga teacher first. It is also suggested to not do inverted poses.\n\nAshtanga yoga is intensely physical and athletic so it sounds like you should stick to gentle yoga styles.\n\nHere are two good articles to read about it:\n\nhttp://www.yogajournal.com/practice/615_1.cfm\nhttp://www.yogajournal.com/practice/244_1.cfm

Both traditional hatha yoga and breema, a relatively new form of movement therapy, claim to treat neck pain by reducing or eliminating some of the underlying causes. Teachers of yoga maintain that the postures improve the flexibility of the spine and keep the disks between the vertebrae well nourished by spinal fluid. In breema, instructors individualize the exercises, so that persons with neck pain can be given a set of exercises for that specific problem. In addition, both yoga and breema emphasize the importance of cultivating healthy spiritual and emotional attitudes toward the body, thus lowering the level of psychological stress that often contributes to neck pain. Other systems that help to re-educate patients in body movement include Feldenkrais, the Alexander technique, and Hanna somatics.

I think you mean spondylitis which is inflammation of one or more vertebrae in your spine!  This is caused by a fixation of the vertebral joint.  This can cause problems such as degenerative disk disease, bone spurs, ect. and also can cause problems in areas of innervation from the nerve passing through that area.  The most effective and safest treatment for this problem is to see a chiropractor!

I guess really any exercises will help with your neck. Change your eating habits, start slowly then progress to exercises. Walk up and down the stairs, or run. Do crunches, jump rope. Anything will really help. Good Luck:0

My advice:\n\n1.   At night, sleep on your side, legs slightly bent, with a thin pillow between your knees.  This will reduce the presure on your spine as you sleep.\n\n2.  Stretch your back several times a day.  A good one is lay flat on your back, rotate your trunk, with your left leg straight and your right leg bent, try to touch your right knee to the ground to your left. Then straighten your right leg, bend your left leg, rotate your trunk, try to touch your left knee to the ground to your right.  Another good one is when sitting, reach your right hand behind your head, and touch your left shoulder blade, then reach your left hand behind your head and try to touch your right should blade.\n\n3.  If your a student, you should have access to the campus health club.  Join, and ask to be shown stretches and exercises specifically for your back (explain that you've had some back issues).

My neck was frozen for twenty years from a car accident and fused vertabrae. I went to an accupuncturist for some chest pain and on the first visit he cured my neck. I can actually turn my head and see behind me now without turning my whole body. It took two more trips to the accupuncturist to fix my chest pains.
