Cervical Spondylosis

Cervical spondylosis is characterized by the degeneration of intervertebral discs and vertebral bodies in the cervical spine. The body forms bony formations known as osteophytes to support the degenerated joints. Osteophytes cause swelling of the spinal joints and spinal stenosis, resulting in pain and stiffness.

Main Symptoms

• headache
• dizziness
• neck stiffness
• neck pain
• pain extending to the upper limbs
• gait instability
