Cervical Spondylitis: Causes, Symptoms & Treatments

Cervical Spondylitis, also known as cervical osteoarthritis, is a common degenerative condition affecting the neck vertebrae and spinal discs. It often leads to chronic neck pain, stiffness, and restricted mobility. While age-related wear and tear is a major cause, lifestyle factors also contribute significantly.

🧠 What is Cervical Spondylitis?

Cervical Spondylitis is a condition involving the degeneration of discs and joints in the cervical spine (neck area). It may lead to nerve compression, resulting in radiating pain to the shoulders, arms, or hands.

⚠️ Common Causes

  • Aging and natural disc degeneration
  • Poor posture or prolonged screen use
  • Sedentary lifestyle
  • Neck injuries
  • Repetitive neck movements or heavy lifting

❗ Symptoms to Watch For
