Simple ways to ease neck pain

* Don’t stay in one position for too long. It’s hard to reverse bad posture, orthopaedic surgeons say, but if you get up and move around often enough, you’ll avoid getting your neck stuck in an unhealthy position.

* Make some ergonomic adjustments. Position your computer monitor at eye level so you can see it easily. Use the hands-free function on your phone or wear a headset. Prop your touch-screen tablet on a pillow so that it sits at a 45° angle, instead of lying flat on your lap.

* If you wear glasses, keep your prescription up-to-date. When your eyewear prescription is not up-to-date, you tend to lean your head back or in front to see better,” eye doctors say.

* Don’t use too many pillows. Sleeping with several pillows under your head can stifle your neck’s range of motion.

* Know your limits. Before you move a big almirah across the room, consider what it might do to your neck and back, and ask for help.

* Get a good night’s sleep. Sleep problems increase the risk for several different conditions, including musculoskeletal pain.

Thanks Dr. Narendra Kumar. These suggestions are very good and applicable to patients of spondylosis. Following above rules along with some neck exercises will greatly help such patients. more  
Before moving heavy objects like Almirah, put a roller or old razai under it and then push to move slowly. more
