Hello Steve

the first thing to say is that damage to spine and joints cannot be undone. Diet can prevent further inflammation and consequent damage, but it doesn't do miracles. However stretching and ROM exercises will maximise your potential for mobility. My spine has been fused since '77 but I still do the exercices every day; they help me walk better, turn my body to look to the side when I am driving etc. We have to make the best of what mobility we have.
