Cervical spondylosis with nerve compression warrants prompt treatment, such as cervical traction, under medical supervision. Additionally, medications—including celecoxib capsules and mecobalamin tablets—may be prescribed by a physician. In severe cases, patients should seek timely evaluation at a reputable hospital and consider laminectomy with decompression surgery. Following treatment, any discomfort should prompt immediate medical consultation and examination, and patients must strictly adhere to their physician’s instructions for scheduled follow-up visits.
