Cervical Spondylosis

Cervical spondylosis is also called cervical osteoarthritis. It is a condition involving changes to the bones, discs, and joints of the neck. These changes are caused by the normal wear-and-tear of aging. With age, the discs of the cervical spine gradually break down, lose fluid, and become stiffer. Cervical spondylosis usually occurs in middle-aged and elderly people.

As a result of the degeneration of discs and other cartilage, spurs or abnormal growths called osteophytes may form on the bones in the neck. These abnormal growths can cause narrowing of the interior of the spinal column or in the openings where spinal nerves exit, a related condition called cervical spinal stenosis.

The symptoms of cervical spondylosis include:

• Neck stiffness and pain
• Headache that may originate in the neck
• Pain in the shoulder or arms
• Inability to fully turn the head or bend the neck, sometimes interfering with driving
• Grinding noise or sensation when the neck is turned

Factors other than aging can increase your risk of cervical spondylosis. These include:

• neck injuries
• work-related activities that put extra strain on your neck from heavy lifting
• holding your neck in an uncomfortable position for prolonged periods of time or repeating the same neck movements throughout the day (repetitive stress)
• genetic factors (family history of cervical spondylosis)
• smoking
• being overweight and inactive
