Understanding Cervical Spine Disorders
The cervical spine plays an important role in supporting head movement and protecting the nerves that travel from the brain to the rest of the body. When the discs, vertebrae, joints, or nerves in the neck become damaged or compressed, various symptoms may develop.
While many cervical spine conditions can be managed with non-surgical treatment, some patients may require surgery when symptoms become severe or continue to worsen.
Common Conditions That May Require Cervical Spine Surgery
Cervical Disc Herniation
A damaged spinal disc in the neck may press on nearby nerves and cause pain or weakness.
Cervical Spondylosis
Age-related wear and tear can lead to spinal degeneration and nerve compression.
Cervical Spinal Stenosis
Narrowing of the spinal canal may place pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots.
Cervical Spine Instability
Movement between vertebrae can affect spinal alignment and neurological function.
Know the Signs That Need Evaluation
Cervical spine conditions can affect the neck, shoulders, arms, hands, and even balance and coordination.
- Persistent neck pain
- Arm pain
- Shoulder discomfort
- Numbness in the arms or hands
- Tingling sensations
- Muscle weakness
- Difficulty with hand movements
- Balance problems
