Cervical spondylosis is a common age-related condition that affects the cervical spine (neck region). It occurs due to gradual wear and tear of the spinal discs, joints, and bones in the neck. As these structures degenerate over time, they can cause neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and sometimes nerve compression leading to symptoms in the shoulders, arms, and hands. Cervical spondylosis is one of the most common causes of chronic neck pain, particularly among middle-aged and older adults.
Several factors may contribute to the development of cervical spondylosis, including:
