New Delhi: The problem of back pain and poor body posture is continuously increasing among people. Looking at mobile phones or working on laptops with the neck bent for long periods increases the risk of cervical spondylitis. This risk further rises due to stress and lack of exercise. In this condition, there is pain and stiffness in the neck, shoulders, and upper back. Sometimes, due to nerve compression, tingling or weakness is also felt in the hands. In such cases, some asanas suggested by Baba Ramdev can provide relief from cervical spondylitis.
