Cervical spondylosis is a condition caused by wear and tear(degeneration) and aging of the cartilages and bones of the cervical spine. The cervical spine is along the back of the neck. Many individuals older than age 45 show signs of cervical spondylosis, but not everyone with the condition experiences symptoms. Symptoms of cervical spondylosis include a stiff or sore neck, neck pain,loss of curvature and decreased range of motion in the neck. Mild, low-impact exercise regularly is recommended combined with stretching as a treatment. A moderate exercise plan throughout adulthood can help to prevent cervical spondylosis in older age. A modern lifestyle that can involve longer working hours in front of computer and lack of both exercise and rest is causing people to suffer from neck pain at a much younger age.
Also staring your mobile continuously can be the another cause for cervical spondylosis in modern times. Trying to keep your neck in neutral position throughout the day and using a proper pillow can avoid such changes .
Cervical spondylosis is degeneration of the bones in the neck (vertebrae) and the disks between them, putting pressure on (compressing) the spinal cord in the neck.
Osteoarthritis is the most common cause of cervical spondylosis.
It usually affects middle-aged and older people. It is the most common cause of spinal cord dysfunction among people older than 55.
The symptoms may usually be pain and stiffness in the neck. This pain can range from mild to severe.
Other symptoms may vary from headaches,pain in neck and shoulder,and numbness and weakness in arms, hands and fingers.
Physiotherapy really helps in such conditions.Chronic pain in your neck, shoulder blades or arms,can be reduced by electrotherapy modalities like tens, ultrasound , traction etc. Mobilisation of cervical spine really help in acute pain.Later on relief is only \]by strengthening your neck and shoulder.This will improve your posture and prevent any relapse of the pain.
Exercises includes isometric neck exercises, neck range of motion exercises, strengthening and stretching of neck and shoulder muscles. It also includes postural correction exercises.These exercises has been demonstrated in the video.
