Arthritis of the cervical spine, also known as cervical spondylosis, is a degenerative condition affecting the neck’s vertebrae and intervertebral discs. As people age, the cartilage and discs in the cervical spine wear down, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. This condition can also cause nerve compression, resulting in symptoms such as radiating pain, numbness, or tingling in the arms and hands. Risk factors include age, genetics, and repetitive stress or injury. Treatment typically involves a combination of physical therapy, medications, and lifestyle modifications, while severe cases may require surgical intervention. Early diagnosis and a comprehensive management plan are key to alleviating symptoms and maintaining quality of life.
