Hi Jaswant
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Your mother is suffering from Cervical spondylitis. She should take pain killers if she has severe pain.
Physiotherapy helps in relieving the symptoms very efficiently.
I advise you to visit your Physiotherapist and get to know the proper exercises for her condition depending on the severity of symptoms.
Hope I answered your question.If you need more information feel free to mail me.
Take care
