Dr. Lin Yunfei
Mild cervical osteophyte formation can be managed with neck massage to alleviate local muscle spasms. For patients with mild symptoms, avoiding prolonged periods of head-down posture and performing appropriate neck exercises can help relieve neck pain and stiffness. Local traction and acupuncture may also be beneficial. In cases of severe symptoms, surgical intervention is generally required to relieve local compression.
