Prevention
By Mayo Clinic staffYou may not be able to prevent cervical spondylosis. However, you may be able to reduce your risk by:
- Skipping high-impact activities, such as running, if you have any neck pain
- Doing exercises to maintain neck strength, flexibility and range of motion
- Taking breaks when driving, watching TV or working on a computer to keep from holding your head in the same position for long periods
- Practicing good posture, with your neck aligned over your shoulders
- Protecting your neck from injury by using a seat belt when in a car
