CERVICAL SPONDYLOSIS

What is Cervical spondylosis?

The term cervical in connection with our human body is related to the bones or vertebra that are present in the upper part of our spine. There are 7 cervical vertebrae in our neck region that help in the proper balance of motion and gait of our head and neck.

Cervical spondylosis is a disorderly condition of the bones of our neck in which the age related wear and tear of the bones and the cartilages makes the movement of neck and the skull above it difficult and painful. The spinal disks holding the vertebrae together shrink in size due to dehydration resulting in lessening the inter vertebrae gap and causing pain and discomfort.
