Abstract

Several studies validate the role of various supportive interventions including loosening exercises, neck exercises and yogasanas in conventional management of cervical spondylosis. The present cross-sectional study proposes that religious meditation and prayers including namaz could also be beneficial in improving the overall health and wellbeing of patients with cervical spondylosis.
