Cervical Spondylosis is a general term for age-related wear and tear in the cervical spine (neck).
Causes of cervical spondylosis:
- Degenerative spinal discs
- Disc Herniation
- Osteoarthritis
- Bone spurs
Symptoms of cervical spondylosis:
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Limited neck range of movements
- Weakness and heaviness in one or both arm or legs
- Tingling or numbness in one or both arms or legs
Physiotherapy can help with:
- Restoring neck flexibility and range of motion.
- Reducing pain and tenderness in tense muscles.
- Improving upper body muscle strength (neck, back, and hands).
- Correcting posture.
- Alleviating tingling or numbness symptoms in the arms or fingers.
- Increasing awareness of ergonomics in the workplace.
