Neurologist,  's  Response
Cervical spondylosis is an age related degenerative disease. You can continue hot fomentation and massage but excessive neck turning or movement should be avoided. Isometric exercises for neck and back strengthening exercises may help more. Long period of sitting in wrong postures may aggravate neck and back pain so avoid as much as possible. Playing badminton depends upon status of your lumbar spine and will be better advised after your lumbar spine imaging. Intact vertebral column with no collapse or spondylolisthesis will assure for continuing badminton.
