Cervical Spondylosis

Cervical Spondylosis and Cervical Osteoarthritis: Joint Degeneration of the Neck Joints

Osteoarthritis (degeneration and inflammation of the joints) is often grouped in two categories: lower back osteoarthritis and neck osteoarthritis, commonly known as either cervical osteoarthritis or cervical spondylosis. This condition, generally a product of age-related wear and tear, can cause pain and stiffness in the neck and upper back.
