Cervical spondylosis is a common age-related condition that affects the cervical spine, which is the part of the spine located in the neck. It involves the degeneration of the intervertebral discs and the formation of bone spurs, leading to stiffness and pain. Symptoms may include neck pain, headaches, and sometimes numbness or weakness in the arms. This condition is often caused by wear and tear over time, but factors like genetics, previous injuries, and lifestyle can contribute. While cervical spondylosis is typically not serious, it can impact daily activities and may require treatment options such as physical therapy or medication for relief.
