About the disease & condition

Cervical spondylosis is an age-related degeneration of the cervical spine, leading to neck pain, stiffness, and sometimes nerve compression. It commonly results from aging, poor posture, or repetitive neck strain. Diagnosis is made through X-rays or MRI to assess disc and bone changes. Complications can include chronic pain and neurological symptoms if nerves are compressed. Management focuses on posture correction, neck-strengthening exercises, ergonomic adjustments, pain relief, and physiotherapy to maintain mobility and prevent progression.

Known Symptoms

Persistent neck pain and stiffness affecting daily activities.
Tingling or numbness radiating to shoulders, arms, or hands.
Limited range of neck motion with discomfort during movement.
Occasional headaches or muscle spasms in the neck region.

Known Causes

Natural aging causing wear and tear of cervical discs.
Poor posture during sitting, standing, or device usage.
Repetitive neck strain from work or physical activities.
Previous neck injuries contributing to accelerated degeneration.

Care

Maintain good posture while sitting, standing, and working.
Perform neck-strengthening and stretching exercises regularly.
Use ergonomic workstations to reduce neck strain.
Attend physiotherapy as advised to manage pain and improve flexibility.
