Thanks for contacting HCM

I am sorry to hear about your uncle suffering from neck pain related to cervical spondylolysis. Another name for Cervical Spondylolysis is osteoarthritis of the neck. In most cases the best option for treatment is pain control. The arthritis can not be reversed though if the arthritis is impinging or hitting a nerve may need additional surgery. In my practice I would have him start arthritis medication like ibuprofen and if no improvement the proceed with CT scan or MRI of the neck.

Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with your questions.
