10 Cervical Spondylosis Symptoms
Symptom #10: Symptoms Improve with a Balance of Rest and Activity
The symptoms of cervical spondylosis can be quite difficult to live with. They can be embarrassing, limiting, and also quite painful. Patients can take some solace in the fact that their symptoms are likely to improve with specific movement patterns and exercises prescribed by a physical therapist, hands on treatment from a provider such as a physical therapist or chiropractor, and also to allow the area a certain amount of rest.
Patients with the condition can also find that the symptoms are at their worst early in the morning and at the end of the day. Symptoms may be worse early in the morning due to lack of activity/movement of the neck while sleeping. Symptoms may also be worse at the end of the day due to over activity throughout the day.
In severe cases, the patient can find that they find it difficult to work or perform other activities and become reliant on other people.
