Patients with cervical spondylosis should pay attention to appropriate exercise in daily life. Under the guidance of professional medical personnel, patients should appropriately exercise their neck muscles, which can help relax muscles, improve blood circulation in the neck, and significantly enhance the stability of cervical spine structures. This has a beneficial effect in reducing cervical spondylosis symptoms. Recommended exercises include swimming and cycling. Additionally, it is important to ensure adequate rest, choose a suitable pillow, keep the neck warm, and develop good working habits.
