Description
Cervical spondylitis, also known as cervical spondylosis, is a degenerative condition affecting the cervical spine, primarily due to aging and wear and tear. It involves the breakdown of discs and joints, leading to neck pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Symptoms may include headaches, radiating pain to the shoulders or arms, and numbness or tingling. Diagnosis typically involves physical examinations and imaging studies. Treatment options range from physical therapy and medications to, in severe cases, surgery. Regular exercise and posture improvement can help manage symptoms.
