Use physical therapies such as infrared radiation, heat therapy, and traction to promote blood circulation and relieve pain symptoms. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as diclofenac and meloxicam, or neurotrophic agents such as vitamin B and methylcobalamin, can also be administered to alleviate pain and swelling caused by cervical spondylosis. During treatment, patients should modify their diet, emphasizing light and balanced meals.
