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 occurs when the discs and joints in the neck degenerate over time, leading to stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility. This condition can result from wear and tear, injury, or repetitive strain. Symptoms of cervical spondylosis may include neck pain, headaches, and sometimes numbness or weakness in the arms. While it is often mild and manageable, severe cases can lead to complications, such as spinal cord compression, which may require medical intervention.
