Symptoms of Cervical Spondylosis

Symptoms of Cervical Spondylosis

Neck Pain

This is the most common symptom, which may be caused by muscle tension, ligament sprain, or disc issues.

Shoulder and Arm Pain

When the nerve roots in the cervical spine are compressed, it can lead to pain and numbness in the shoulders, arms, and even hands.

Headache

Cervical spondylosis may affect adjacent nerves, causing headaches, especially pain at the back of the neck and the top of the head.

Dizziness and Imbalance

Problems in the cervical spine may affect the function of the cerebellum, leading to dizziness and a decline in body balance.

Finger Numbness

Herniated discs or other cervical spine conditions may compress the spinal nerves, causing numbness in the fingers.

Digestive Issues

Cervical spondylosis may affect the sympathetic nervous system, impacting gastrointestinal function and leading to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
