I am experiencing a cervical spine problem. How can it be treated, and which pain relief medications are recommended?
Cervical spine problems are usually managed with rest, posture correction, physiotherapy, and neck strengthening exercises. Pain relief medications may include paracetamol, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen, and muscle relaxants if prescribed by your doctor. Do not self-medicate, and see a doctor if the pain continues, worsens, or if you develop numbness or weakness.
