Hi
Thanks for writing
I have gone through your query and my suggestion for your muscle spasm (cervical spondylitis) are as follows-
1. Bed rest that is avoid unnecessary sitting and whenever possible take rest in lying down position.
2. you may take hot water fomentation to relax the muscle of neck.
3. The medicine given is muscle relaxant drug like tab.thiospas A8,Gel.flexabenz for application at back and oral/inject able form of vitamin B12.
4. Physiotherapy also helps.
These are prescription only medicine so you may talk to your local doctor.
Take care and I shall be glad to answer any further query.
