What is Cervical Spondylosis?

Cervical Spondylosis, commonly referred to as neck arthritis, is a condition characterized by wear and tear affecting the spinal disks in your neck. With age, these disks dehydrate and shrink, leading to signs of osteoarthritis, including bony projections along the edges of bones (bone spurs).

Causes and Aetiology for Cervical Spondylosis

Cervical Spondylosis results from chronic wear on the cervical spine. Factors include:

  • Aging: Natural degeneration of spinal disks.
  • Dehydration: Loss of disk hydration leads to bone-on-bone contact.
  • Herniated Disks: Cracks in disks can lead to bulging and pressure on nerves.
  • Bone Spurs: Overgrowth of bones to strengthen the spine, which can pinch nerves.
  • Stiff Ligaments: Age-related stiffening can make the neck less flexible.

Common symptoms include:

  • Neck pain and stiffness.
  • Headaches, especially at the back of the head.
  • Pain in the shoulders and arms.
