Dear customer, it is a pleasure to serve you; I want to tell you that this type of situation today has a range of therapeutic possibilities as long as you have an excellent postural control is essential that you can use a medical collar or a soft collar at least 2 hours a day to improve the position of the cervical muscles remember that muscle contractures at the cervical level can cause compression of specific nerve endings that worsen the situation, you must start with cold and heat therapy placing 5 minutes of cold followed by 5 minutes of heat and with tramadol 50 mg every 12 hours and if there is a lot of pain you can take it every 8 hours you must also take into account that it may be necessary to start with posture reconditioning therapies commonly known as RPG as long as it is accompanied by physical therapy and proper rehabilitation with warm-up exercises and muscle conditioning which will satisfactorily improve this situation. Your primary health care physician may consider a referral to a specialist in physical therapy and rehabilitation to consider other therapeutic strategies such as electrostimulation therapy with tens and magnet therapy which are based on the placement of electrodes in the superficial region of the skin where there is more pain to send electrical impulses and thus desensitize the nerve endings that are affected. I would like you to keep me informed of your health situation; I will be happy to assist you and help you in any way I can.
