Cervical spondylosis, also known as cervical osteoarthritis, is a degenerative condition affecting the neck’s spinal discs due to wear and tear of bones and cartilage. It is common with aging but can also result from injury, poor posture, or repetitive strain.

Causes & Risk Factors

• Aging – Natural degeneration of spinal discs and bones.

• Poor posture – Long hours of computer or phone usage.

• Neck injury – Accidents or repetitive strain.

• Genetic predisposition – Family history of arthritis.

• Sedentary lifestyle – Lack of exercise weakens muscles.

Symptoms

• Neck pain and stiffness (worsens with movement).

• Headaches (originating from the neck).

• Shoulder and arm pain (due to nerve compression).

• Tingling or numbness in arms and hands.

• Dizziness or vertigo in severe cases.

Homeopathic Approach

Homeopathy helps relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and strengthen cervical spine health naturally.
