Clinical information

Spondylosis refers to degenerative changes in the spine, such as bone spurs and disc degeneration.
Cervical spondylosis is a common age-related condition affecting the cervical spine. It involves degenerative changes in the intervertebral discs, facet joints, and ligaments.
The condition is typically less severe and may be managed conservatively in the absence of myelopathy or radiculopathy.
Symptoms may include neck pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion. Patients may also experience headaches or difficulty in maintaining balance.
A patient should seek emergency care if they experience sudden weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, difficulty walking, or severe neck pain. These symptoms may indicate serious complications requiring immediate medical attention.
Treatment options depend on the severity of symptoms and may include pain relief, physical therapy, and, in severe cases, surgery.

In severe cases, injections or surgery may be considered if symptoms do not improve with conservative treatments.

What is the difference between cervical myelopathy and cervical radiculopathy?

Cervical myelopathy is a condition caused by spinal cord compression in the neck, leading to symptoms such as weakness, balance issues, and coordination problems. Cervical radiculopathy, on the other hand, results from nerve root compression in the cervical spine, causing pain, numbness, or weakness that radiates into the arms or hands.
