CERVICAL SPONDYLOSIS

Cervical spondylosis is age-related wear and tear of the spine in the neck area. It involves the degeneration of discs, joints, and vertebrae, often leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms may include neck pain, headaches, or tingling in the arms. It is commonly caused by the natural aging process, but can be aggravated by injury or poor posture. Treatment typically includes pain management, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes.

HOW TO PREVENT CERVICAL SPONDYLOSIS

Cervical spondylosis is an age-related condition that affects the neck (cervical spine) due to wear and tear of bones, discs, and joints. It causes neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and sometimes numbness in arms. Following these steps can help prevent or delay cervical spondylosis.

1. Maintain Proper Posture

  • Sit and stand straight. Keep your computer screen at eye level and avoid bending your neck forward.

2. Take Regular Breaks

  • Avoid long hours of mobile or computer use. Take breaks every 30–60 minutes.

3. Do Neck Exercises Daily

  • Gentle neck stretches and strengthening exercises keep neck muscles flexible.

4. Use a Proper Pillow

  • Sleep on a soft, supportive pillow that keeps your neck in a neutral position.

5. Avoid Heavy Lifting

  • Do not carry heavy bags on one shoulder. Use both shoulders evenly.
