Cervical Spondylosis, also known as neck arthritis or cervical osteoarthritis, is a common age-related condition that affects the joints and discs in the neck. It occurs due to wear and tear of the cervical spine, leading to stiffness, pain, and sometimes numbness or tingling in the shoulders, arms, or hands. Poor posture, long hours of sitting, and lack of neck movement can worsen the condition.
Physiotherapy plays a key role in managing cervical spondylosis. Treatment focuses on pain relief, posture correction, muscle strengthening, and restoring neck mobility through exercises, manual therapy, traction, and ergonomic advice. With proper physiotherapy care, patients can reduce discomfort, prevent recurrence, and regain normal daily function.
