Suggest Treatment For Small Vessel Disease Of The Heart

I have had my neck x-rayed because of discomfort more so on the lefthand side and when I sleep and here is the report: The lordosis is flattened, and there is a slight kyphotic curve of the lower cervical spine. There is chronic disc space narrowing and spondylosis at C5/6 and C6/7 levels. There is also moderate narrowing of C4/5 disc space. At C3/4 there is chronic paravertebral degeneration. The dens appears intact. Moderate spondylosis of the mid and lower certical spine. How should this be treated? I am 62 years old 158cm tall and weigh about 75 k's. I have a heart condition that is being treated - I sometimes get angina-type attacks and have had coronary artery spasms. I have been told that I have small vessel disease of the heart. I also have a hiatus hernia that recurred after 10 years after initial surgery. I have been advised not to have another operation and am on medication. Thank you for your help.

The best treatment of such kind of spine problem is to exercise. There are special exercises for spine. i would advise you to see a physiotherapist who will help you to find the right exercises for your spine, you should do it regularly and it should become part of your routine life, but believe it helps greatly.

Take care
