Cervical spondylosis is an age-related wear and tear affecting the spinal discs in your neck. As the discs dehydrate and shrink, signs of osteoarthritis develop, including bony projections along the edges of bones (bone spurs). It is extremely common, especially in professionals spending long hours in front of screens.
If the narrowing of the cervical canal is severe, it can pinch one or more nerves, causing pain, tingling, or weakness that radiates all the way down to your fingers. In such cases, if conservative management fails, surgical solutions like Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) are highly successful in relieving nerve compression and restoring mobility.
