4. Muscle Relaxants

Spondylosis can make the muscles of the neck and spine work harder to support the head, which can lead to overworked and tense muscles that are prone to spasms. Muscle relaxants affect the neuronal signals that cause muscle contractions. Due to their strength, prescription muscle relaxants can be addictive and have serious effects. The worst side effects are heart failure and paralysis, while the most common is sedation. A person looking for relief should have an in-depth conversation with their doctor about the risks of muscle relaxants before accepting the prescription.
