Cervical Spondylosis: Managing Chronic Neck and Arm Pain

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.

Tips to Manage Neck Pain:

  • Maintain Ergonomics: Keep your computer screen at eye level and sit with your back straight. Avoid craning your neck forward.
  • Take Frequent Micro-breaks: Stand up, stretch, or rotate your neck gently every 45-60 minutes.
  • Avoid Heavy Lifting on Shoulders: Avoid carrying heavy shoulder bags which can compress the cervical nerves.

When Spondylosis Causes Radiculopathy (Arm Pain)

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.
