Cervical spondylitis
Cervical Spondylitis (also known as cervical spondylosis) is a condition caused by age-related wear and tear on the bones, discs, and joints in the neck. It can cause stiffness, pain, and discomfort in the cervical spine. Here’s everything you need to know:
Causes of Cervical Spondylitis
- Aging: Natural degeneration of the spinal discs and bones.
- Wear and Tear: Long-term stress on the neck due to poor posture or repetitive motion.
- Dehydrated Discs: Loss of fluid in spinal discs, reducing shock absorption.
- Bone Spurs: Excess bone growth due to joint damage.
- Herniated Discs: Displaced discs may press on nearby nerves.
- Injury or Trauma: Prior neck injuries may accelerate degeneration.
- Genetics: Family history may increase the risk.
