Cervical Spondylosis

Cervical Spondylosis is a common age-related condition that affects the joints and discs in your neck. It develops from wear and tear and is largely due to age, but can be caused by other factors as well.
Cause
Cervical Spondylosis arises from degenerative changes that occur in the spine as we age. Although the exact cause of cervical spondylosis is not yet clear, age, neck injury, genetics, and poor posture are all risk factors.
Symptoms
If a large spinal nerve is under pressure, there may not be a lot of pain, but you may experience numbness and paralysis in your limbs. You may also experience weakness in your arms and legs, and find it difficult to carry on normal activities like walking, changing, or eating.
If a nerve root is under pressure, you may experience pain in your arms and shoulder as well as numbness and tingling in your arms and hands.
Treatment
If a nerve root is under pressure, conservative treatments may be recommended. But if symptoms persist or worsen, surgery is necessary. If a spinal nerve is under pressure, surgery is recommended. Surgeries include, cervical discectomy and fusion, cervical laminectomy, and cervical artificial disc replacement.
