Description: Cervical spondylosis is chronic cervical disc degeneration with herniation of disc material, calcification and osteophytic outgrowths.
* There may be compression, stretching or angulation of the cervical nerve roots.
* Myelopathy can also occur due to compression, compromised blood supply or recurring minor trauma to the cord.
After back pain, neck pain is the most frequent musculoskeletal cause of consultation in primary care worldwide.
