I have had chronic neck pain. A few years ago I went to see a chiropractor and he x-ray my c-spine. He said that I have loss of curvature to my c-spine. Over the years my pain has gotten worst. I have been to physical therapy and have seen a physiatrist, and had frequent massages. I am 40 years old  and in chronic pain everyday. I also have a bulging disc in my L4,L5,and S1. Please help. What would you recommend. Thank you, Joyce M.
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Loss of curvature of cervical spine and bulging disc at L4-L5 suggests spondylitis. Spondylitis is a chronic condition. Maintaining good posture and rest are the key factors which will relieve pain. A cervical collar may be required to maintain good posture. After removing the collar, maintaining good posture is also a must. Exercises of the cervical spine will be helpful in long term. You will need to consult a physiotherapist for the exercises. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
