At Harmony Homoeopathy, we have the experience of treating patients of cervical spondylitis for more than many years and based on the same, we have found a few dietary and lifestyle changes that make a lot of difference to the patients and help them be in better control of their illness. These tips have been clinically verified time and again by our physicians and nutritionists and have been summarized here:

Maintain a healthy weight; los that extra weight, if any

Eat a varied diet including plenty of calcium rich foods (sesame seeds, green leafy vegetables, ragi)

Whole grains, fruits and vegetables should be taken in adequate amounts

Alcoholic beverages weaken bones. Consuming more than two alcoholic drinks per day increases a person's chances of developing weakened bones and hence this should be limited

Decrease your intake of saturated fat (dairy, red meat), salt and sugar

Exercise regularly to maintain neck strength, flexibility, range of motion

Always wear your seat belt while travelling in a car

When working on a computer or watching TV, take frequent breaks and avoid long periods of inactivity

Use thin pillow and avoid placing more than one pillow under your head, sleep on a firm mattress
