cervical spondylosis (related health condition)

Cervical spondylosis is a common age-related condition where the discs, joints, and bones in the neck (cervical spine) gradually wear down over time. This wear and tear can cause neck pain, stiffness, and sometimes headaches. It may also lead to nerve compression, resulting in symptoms like tingling, numbness, or weakness in the arms or hands. Factors such as aging, repetitive neck motion, or injury can contribute to its development. While it is a normal part of aging for many, managing symptoms through exercise, posture, and medical treatment can improve quality of life.
