  Cervical spondylosis is a natural age-related disease process that is associated with degenerative changes within the intervertebral disc. It most commonly presents as neck pain, which remains as one of the leading causes of disability and rising healthcare costs. […] Symptoms of cervical spondylosis manifest as neck pain and neck stiffness and can be accompanied by radicular symptoms when there is compression of neural structures. […] Symptomatic cervical spondylosis most commonly presents as neck pain. […] The primary risk factor and contributor to the incidence of cervical spondylosis is age-related degeneration of the intervertebral disc and cervical spinal elements. […] Most people with spondylotic changes of the cervical spine on radiographic imaging remain asymptomatic, with 25% of individuals under the age of 40, 50% of individuals over the age of 40, and 85% of individuals over the age of 60 showing some evidence of degenerative changes.

  Cervical spondylosis is a condition typically caused by wear on the joints in your neck due to aging. Treatment often includes physical therapy and medications. This article discusses what cervical spondylosis is, including symptoms, causes, and risk factors. It also looks at treatment options for the condition. […] Cervical spondylosis is the gradual degeneration of cartilage and bone in the joints of your neck. These are known as your cervical spine. This condition is most commonly caused by age-related wear and tear. […] Over time, the discs between vertebrae may begin to dry and shrink, slip, or collapse. This causes the spaces between bone and disc to narrow. It can lead to increased pressure on the facets of the bone, which may then begin to deteriorate. The cartilage on bone ends may also wear away, eventually resulting in bone rubbing against bone.

• #6 Cervical Spondylosis: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment

  https://resources.healthgrades.com/right-care/spine-conditions/cervical-spondylosis

  To compensate for lost cartilage, bones will often develop new growths called bone spurs. Bone spurs can cause the opening your spinal nerves pass through to narrow. This narrowing, or stenosis, puts pressure on the nerves and can cause severe pain. […] Treatment options are available for cervical spondylosis. If you are experiencing persistent neck pain, contact your doctor. […] The pain caused by cervical spondylosis can sometimes be severe. Approximately 1 in 10 people with the condition develop long-term or chronic pain. However, some people may not experience any symptoms. […] Symptoms of cervical spondylosis include: pain in the neck and shoulders, stiffness, headaches, popping or grinding sensation when you turn your neck. […] Typically, you will not experience severe symptoms unless you develop a more serious condition, such as: Cervical radiculopathy: This is when a slipped disk or a bone irritates or pinches a nearby nerve. Cervical myelopathy: This is when the spinal canal narrows and compresses the spinal cord.

  https://patient.info/bones-joints-muscles/neck-pain/cervical-spondylosis

  Cervical spondylosis is a 'wear and tear’ of the vertebrae and discs in the neck. It is a normal part of ageing and does not cause symptoms in many people. However, it is sometimes a cause of neck pain. Symptoms tend to come and go. In severe cases, the degeneration may cause irritation or pressure on the spinal nerve roots or spinal cord. This can cause arm or leg symptoms. […] If symptoms develop, they can range from mild to severe. Symptoms may include: Pain in the neck: This may spread to the shoulders and base of the skull. Movement of the neck may make the pain worse. The pain sometimes spreads down an arm to a hand or fingers. This is caused by irritation of a nerve which goes to the arm from the spinal cord in the neck. The pain tends to come and go with flare-ups from time to time. You may have a flare-up of pain after unaccustomed use of your neck, or if you sprain a neck muscle or ligament. However, a flare-up often develops for no apparent reason. Some people develop chronic (persistent) pain.

  Some neck stiffness, particularly after a night’s rest. Headaches may occur. The headaches often start at the back of the head just above the neck and travel over the top to the forehead. You may develop 'pins and needles’ in part of an arm or hand. This symptom is caused by irritation of a spinal nerve as it leaves the bony (vertebral) area. However, do tell a doctor if loss of feeling (numbness) or weakness develops in a part of a hand or arm. These symptoms suggest more pressure on a nerve. This is called a 'cervical radiculopathy’. More rarely, clumsiness of a hand, problems with walking, or problems with bladder function occur when pressure from a worn bone (vertebra) or disc damages the spinal cord. This is called 'cervical myelopathy’. […] Cervical spondylosis often causes no problems but can be a cause of neck pain, particularly in older people.

  Cervical spine is made up of bones (vertebraes) with cushions (discs) between them. As we grow older, the bones and the discs will degenerate. Bone spurs (osteophytes) may form and spinal canal may narrow (stenosis). These changes are known as cervical spondylosis. […] As the spine degenerates, osteophytes formation occurs which intends to fuse the vertebrae together to minimise movement. These osteophytes may cause the unwanted symptoms once it comes into contact with any of the nerve root or the spinal cord. The symptoms vary with each individual. […] You may experience: Neck pain, Constant deep ache that radiates over the shoulder and down to the arms, hands and fingers numbness or weakness of the arms, hands, fingers or legs, Muscles spasm, neck stiffness, Headache, Neck and arm pain can be caused by compression of nerves travelling from cervical spine to arm.
