Cervical Spondylosis
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.
