The biggest myth about neck arthritis, and arthritis in general, is the belief that exercise makes the condition worse. Many people assume that movement will only worsen the pain and damage it further. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, research has shown that regular exercise can significantly alleviate neck arthritis pain and enhance overall function.

One of the most beneficial exercises for neck arthritis is chin tucks. Chin tucks are great to do every day, but make sure to progress slowly so it doesn’t get inflamed.
