WHAT IS CERVICAL SPONDYLITIS:- Cervical Spondylitis is a general term for age related wear and tear affecting the spinal disks in the neck. It is a condition involving changes to the bones,discs,joints of the neck. It worsens with age.There also appears to be a genetic component involved because some families will have more of these changes over time,while other will develop less. Vertebrae are bones that join together to form the entire backbone.In between the vertebrae are cushion like structures called “intervertebral discs”.Age related wear and tear can cause the joints between the vertebrae to degenerate.It causes pain in affected region.When the nerve roots start getting pressed ,it can lead to symptoms of nerve compression.
- CAUSES OF CERVICAL SPONDYLITIS:-
