CERVICAL SPONDILYTIS

WHAT IS CERVICAL SPONDYLITIS

• Cervical spondylitis is a general term for the degeneration of the spinal discs in your neck that occurs as you age. As you age, discs dehydrate and shrink, leading to osteoarthritis.
• Cervical spondylitis is a condition of long-term stiffness in the bones of the spine located in the neck, pain in the neck and shoulders, and headache with stiffness. This pain gradually increases beyond the shoulder to the arms and hands. Neck pain itself is called cervical spondylitis.
• Although the term may sound intimidating, it is quite common and affects more than 85% of people over the age of 65. More often than not, there are no associated symptoms that people suffer from. However, if there are any, non-surgical treatments are usually effective in getting rid of them.
  

CAUSE OF SPONDYLITIS

There can be many reasons for cervical spondylitis such as –

• Dehydration of discs – By the age of 40, the images in the spine often start drying up, due to which they shrink. This causes the vertebrae to rub against each other.
• Herniated discs in the spinal discs – Due to age, the spinal discs begin to crack, due to which these discs start to slip out of their place. This puts pressure on the spinal cord and other nerves.
• Bone spurs in the spine – This is a very common problem in elderly people. The wear and tear of the soft bones around the vertebrae leads to abnormal growth of bones called bone spurs.
• There are some things that increase the chances of getting cervical spondylitis. These are –
• It is a common part of old age. As the age increases, most of the people have to deal with this disease.
• If you do a job that requires you to sit in front of the computer for hours, you may have to deal with this disease because keeping the wrong posture puts a lot of weight on the neck.
• Having a trauma to the neck in the past increases your chances of developing cervical spondylitis.
