Prognosis
The prognosis for problems with the cervical spine is strongly dependent on the cause of the symptoms. It is not possible to make a generalized statement. Basically it can be said that chronic problems often require a longer treatment period.
Acute problems are often quickly resolved once the damage has healed. Nevertheless, a precise clarification should be made urgently. Exercises must be carried out regularly and conscientiously in order to prevent chronicity.
Also in everyday life, in order to achieve long-term success, the posture, the load and strain on the cervical spine should be considered. In the case of problems of the cervical spine or temporomandibular joint that have occurred due to stress, a causal approach is necessary. Jaw problems should be clarified by a dentist.
