Cervical Spondylitis
In most cases, cervical spondylosis occurs as a result of degenerative changes in the spine during aging. Intervertebral discs become dry, and then around the time, you turn 40 . Disc degeneration can cause herniation one of the signs of cervical spondylosis. Aging in the cervical region of the spine also can lead to signs of spondylosis such as bone spurs on the vertebral body or facet joints. With age ligaments that bind the spine together become thickened and Stiff. This condition also can cause symptoms of cervical spondylosis. Usually, cervical spondylosis occurs in older people but some factors can contribute to its development early in life. One main cause an injury to the cervical region of the spine. Holding your cervical spine in an uncomfortable position for prolonged periods can contribute to the development of spondylosis. Many scientists believe that cervical spondylosis is a genetic disease that children inherit from their parents.
Stages of Cervical Spondylitis
Stage 1 : Dysfunction
The patient complains of nonspecific neck pain with localized tenderness. On radiographic examination, the disc degeneration is obvious, as seen in the loss of height and the bulging of the annulus beyond the vertebral margins.
Treatment Time : 3 Month
Sesssion Required : 15
Stage 2 : Instability
Fibrosis of the facet joints occurs, along with even greater disc degeneration and osteophyte formation. Osteophytes form along the edges of the facet joints, leading to enlarged facets. Lateral nerve root entrapment becomes more common in this stage, leading to radicular signs and lateral stenosis in the intervertebral foramen.
Treatment Time : 6 Month
Sesssion Required : 30
Stage 3 : Stabilization
Fibrosis of the facet joints occurs, along with even greater disc degeneration and osteophyte formation. Osteophytes form along the edges of the facet joints, leading to enlarged facets. Lateral nerve root entrapment becomes more common in this stage, leading to radicular signs and lateral stenosis in the intervertebral foramen.
Treatment Time : 9 Month
Sesssion Required : 45
Cervical Spondylitis Symptoms
- The first and main symptom of cervical spondylosis is pain in the neck portion of the spine.
- It occurs due to compression of the spinal cord and nerve roots from disc herniation, bone spurs, or thickened ligaments.
- In most cases, the pain increases with movement due to compression of nerve roots during movement of the cervical vertebrae.
- Pain in the arms may occur due to compression of nerves that extend into the arms through the neck portion of the spine.
- Cervical spondylosis can also cause weakness, numbness, and cramping in the arms due to nerve compression.
- In severe cases, spinal cord compression may lead to difficulty walking, loss of balance, and impaired coordination.
- In very rare cases, spinal cord compression may cause bladder incontinence.
Cervical Spondylitis Causes
- Cervical spondylosis occurs because of long-term degeneration and wear-and-tear of the cervical spine.
- A previous neck injury may also lead to the condition.
- Some long-term activities may increase the risk, such as carrying heavy loads, practicing martial arts, or being a professional dancer or gymnast.
- There may be a genetic cause, as the condition sometimes runs in families.
- It usually starts to appear after the age of 40 years and progresses over time.
- Men usually develop it at an earlier age than women.
- Smoking may also increase the risk.
Cervical Spondylitis Test in Diagnostic
Physical Test
- ROM
- ROM of hand / arms / shoulder
- Gait test
- Trigger point test
Medical Test
- X-rays
- MRI
- Myelogram (type of CT scan) or Electromyogram (nerve function test)

Exercises For Recovery : Back Pain
- Exercises 1: Neck Turn
- Exercises 2: Neck Stretch
- Exercises 3: Neck Tilt
- Exercises 4: Side Neck Tilt
Neck Turn
Step 1 : Turn your head to one side as far as it remains comfortable, keeping your chin at a level height. Tense your neck muscles for 5 seconds. Return the head to a central position. Repeat on the opposite side. Repeat this exercise 5 times on each side.
Neck Stretch
Step 1 : Keep your body straight. Push your chin forward in a way that stretches the throat. Softly tense the neck muscles.
Step 2 : Hold this for 5 seconds. Return your head to its center position. Push your head back with the chin held high, and hold for 5 seconds. Carry out 5 repetitions.
Neck Tilt
Step 1 : Tilt your head forward so that the chin touches the chest. Softly tense the neck muscles.
Step 2 : Hold this for 5 seconds. Return the head to a neutral position. Carry out 5 repetitions.
Side Neck Tilt
Step 1 : Lean your head down towards either shoulder, leading with the ear. Softly tense the neck muscles. Hold this for 5 seconds.
Step 2 : Return your head to the center and repeat on the other shoulder. Carry out 5 repetitions.
