hi,
cervical spondylitis does need a follow up but repeating a mri depends on whether the patient's complaints have worsened or not.
if the patient has improved or has no complaints a mri need not be repeated.
if the patient has deteriorated a mri may be repeated.
or else you should learn ISOMETRIC NECK EXERCISES and make them part of your daily routine.
