Hello friend,
You have problem called as spondylosis.this is a degenerative condition and wear and tear of disc and joints of the spine just like a tyre of a car.
This is a type ofproblem which is easy to diagnosed but difficult to treat.
This is not a dangerous condition but till date no curative treatment available for it.
Apart from physical therapy the effective treatment is modification of you life style.
You have to limit you activity level and if your body not allow and tell no in the form of pain dont do that activity.
So this is the simplest ans of your problem.
