Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, it might be caused by cervical spondylosis. I suggest you have a cervical CT scan to see the specific condition. Treatment generally involves traction, massage, and physical therapy, combined with medication such as Niu Fu Kang. Pay attention to moving your neck appropriately and avoid maintaining the same posture for too long. It usually gradually improves.
