[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for your query. Neck pain that you are having are suggestive of degenerative -spondylitic changes of the cervical spine. X-ray of neck in lateral view or MRI will help in the diagnosis. Treatment includes 1. Use of cervical collar helps in immobilization and brings relief. 2. Medical Chat Doctor. 3. Cervical isometric exercises are beneficial to maintain the strength of the neck muscles. Neck and upper back stretching exercises, as well as light aerobic activities, also are recommended under the guidance of a physical therapist. 4. Hot fomentation helps in relieving acute symptoms.5. You can avoid using a pillow. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
