What is cervical spondylosis?
Cervical spondylosis is a general term for age-related wear and tear affecting the spinal disks in your neck. As the disks dehydrate and shrink, signs of osteoarthritis develop, including bony projections along the edges of bones (bone spurs). Cervical spondylosis is very common and worsens with age.
What are the causes of cervical spondylosis?
As you age, the bones and cartilage that make up your backbone and neck gradually develop wear and tear. These changes can include dehydrated discs, herniated disks, bone spurs, and stiff ligaments among others.
