The GP may also prescribe a muscle relaxant or other medicine if the pain has been coming and going for a long time (chronic pain).

As with any physical activity, some aches or discomfort during or following exercise are normal and should be expected. But if an exercise makes your symptoms significantly worse you should stop doing it. Computed tomography (CT) scan: A CT scan may be used if an MRI isn’t available. It can show bone spurs and signs of bone deterioration.

Various treatments may be advised by a physiotherapist. These include traction, heat, cold, manipulation, etc. The value of each of these treatments is uncertain, as the results of research studies looking at which treatments work best can be conflicting. The truth is that despite advances in imaging techniques it is often very difficult, if not impossible, for us to be able to find the exact cause or structure for most spinal pain. This is why an x-ray or an MRI scans are not needed in the management of spinal pain. You may feel pain or numbness. This occurs if the nerves are irritated or pinched, either by bulging discs or osteophytes. Nonsurgical treatment options can often help alleviate a person’s pain and swelling. Some common examples include:Placebo is belief-powered relief from symptoms, while nocebo is belief-powered symptoms, or “the placebo effect’s malevolent Mr. Hyde.” And: “The Internet has become a powerful … nocebo dosing machine.” Agreed: nocebo is a genuine hazard when writing about medical problems.

There was disconcerting variety in presentation, but the pain was consistently severe, unfamiliar, unilateral, and mostly sudden onset. “Cervicocephalic arterial dissection should be suspected when patients complain of intense unilateral posterior cervical and occipital pain or temporal pain.”
