Cervical Spondylosis<\/strong><\/p>

What is cervical spondylosis?<\/strong><\/p>

Cervical spondylosis is a common, age-related condition that affects the joints and discs in your cervical spine, which is in your neck. It\u2019s also known as cervical osteoarthritis or neck arthritis.It develops from the wear and tear of cartilage and bones.<\/p>

Cervical spondylosis is very common and worsens with age. More than 85 percent of people older than age 60 are affected by cervical spondylosis.<\/p>

Cervical spondylosis causes<\/strong><\/p>

As you age, the bones and cartilage that make up your backbone and neck gradually develop wear and tear. These changes can include dehydrated disks, herniated disks, bone spurs, and stiff ligaments.<\/p>

Symptoms<\/strong><\/p>

Most people with cervical spondylosis don\u2019t have significant symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they typically include pain and stiffness in the neck.One common symptom is pain around the shoulder blade. Some complain of pain along the arm and in the fingers. The pain might increase while standing, sitting, sneezing, coughing, and tilting your neck backward<\/p>

Other common signs include:<\/p>

  • Muscle weakness<\/li>
  • A stiff neck that becomes worse<\/li>
  • Headaches that mostly occur in the back of the head<\/li>
  • Tingling or numbness that mainly affects the shoulders and arms, although it can also occur in the legs<\/li><\/ul>

    Diagnosis<\/strong><\/p>

    Your doctor will likely start with a physical exam that includes:<\/p>

    • Checking the range of motion in your neck<\/li>
    • Testing your reflexes and muscle strength to find out if there’s pressure on your spinal nerves or spinal cord<\/li>
    • Watching you walk to see if spinal compression is affecting your gait<\/li><\/ul>

      Imaging tests<\/p>

      Imaging tests can provide detailed information to guide diagnosis and treatment. Your doctor might recommend:<\/p>

      • Neck X-ray.<\/strong> An X-ray can show abnormalities, such as bone spurs, that indicate cervical spondylosis. Neck X-ray can also rule out rare and more serious causes for neck pain and stiffness, such as tumors, infections or fractures.<\/li>
      • CT scan.<\/strong> A CT scan can provide more detailed imaging, particularly of bones.<\/li>
      • MRI.<\/strong> MRI can help pinpoint areas where nerves might be pinched.<\/li>
      • Myelography.<\/strong> A tracer dye is injected into the spinal canal to provide more detailed X-ray or CT imaging.<\/li><\/ul>
