Effect of therapeutic exercise on symptomatic cervical spondylosis: a case study

Cervical spondylosis (C.S.) is a degenerative disorder in the neck that is very common and worsens with age; it limits the ability to do regular activity and is costly to treat. The purpose of the present case report is to describe the outcome of the physical therapy treatment, emphasizing therapeutic exercises for a patient with C.P. A 55-year-old man attended the yoga lab because his cervical spine was straightened, tingling, numbness on the left thumb, index and middle fingers, and upper limb numbness. The subject was treated with therapeutic exercises. The patient was evaluated for sixty days before and after the therapeutic exercises’ treatment. Investigation and evaluation were done with an MRI of the Cervical spine and an X-ray of the Cervical Spine A.P. and lat with Flexion and Extension. The result showed a very significant improvement, likely cured.
