What Exercises Should Be Done To Alleviate Pain Due To Osteoarthritis?
Hello, I have just been diagnosed to having severe osteoarthritis in the neck (C5/6 and D6/7). What exercises might I try to help alleviate the pain? Would you think my chiropractor can help with this? Thanks PS. I have suffered from psoriatic arthritis in the past as well, but have had no problems for years.
