Cervical Spondylosis Treatment In Jaipur

Cervical Spondylosis or Neck osteoarthritis is basically age-related wear and tear of the cartilage, tendons and muscles in the neck that may manifest into severe pain symptoms. It is such a common disorder that almost 90% persons older than 60 years of age are suffering from one or other type of spondylosis.

What are the causes?

Cervical Spondylosis may happen as a result of:

Slow but constant degeneration of the intervertebral discs over the years
Herniation of disc(s), creating compression on surrounding nerves and tissues
Osteoarthritis aka cartilage degeneration
Bone spurs (abnormal ingrowth of bone fragments, along vertebral edges)

And the most dangerous fact is that, most of these abnormalities do not show any significant symptoms. Most patients get diagnosed very late, when large damage has already happened.

Common risk factors

Advanced age, the commonest
Smoking
Genetic and familial history
Occupational hazards (desk jobs, plumbers, mechanics, painters etc jobs involving fixing the neck/head onto a direction for hours)
Straining of neck
Neck injuries due to some other reason
Heavyweight lifting
Vibration exposures ( heavy vehicle drivers)

Symptoms to look for
