What Is The Treatment For Neck Pain?

i have had neck discomfort for about a year, I have just been X-Rayed and my doctor says it is spondolosis, (wear & tear & old age I guess) he said was I taking anti-inflamatories and I said no and that I would rather not as they tend to make you constipated, he is going to send me for pysiotherapy, is there much hope of beating this or will I have to just endure it , I am 59
