I've been diagnosed with cervical spondylosis, and my doctor recommended surgery. I get frequent headaches and neck pain, plus it's hard to turn my head side to side. Is surgery the only option, or are there other treatments I could try first?

Surgery is usually reserved for cases where conservative treatments fail to relieve symptoms or if there are signs of nerve compression or spinal cord damage.
