Neck Pain Alert: Understanding Cervical Spondylosis

Cervical spondylosis is one of the most common causes of persistent neck pain, especially among adults who spend long hours working on computers, driving, or performing activities that strain the neck. At the Neurology and Pain Management Clinic (NPMC), Dr. Gautam Arora, a highly experienced neurologist, offers advanced and compassionate care to help patients understand, manage, and overcome this condition effectively.

Cervical spondylosis refers to age-related wear and tear of the cervical spine, including the discs, joints, and vertebrae of the neck. Over time, these structures lose flexibility, cushioning, and strength, leading to stiffness, discomfort, and nerve irritation. While age is a major factor, poor posture, weak muscles, previous injuries, and repetitive strain significantly increase the risk.

Common symptoms include chronic neck pain, stiffness, shoulder ache, headaches, grinding sensations during neck movement, and pain radiating down the arms due to nerve compression. In severe cases, patients may experience numbness, tingling, weakness, or difficulty with balance—signs that require urgent evaluation by a neurologist.

At NPMC, Dr. Gautam Arora performs a detailed neurological assessment using advanced diagnostic tools such as MRI, nerve conduction studies, and digital posture analysis to identify the exact source of pain. Treatment focuses on non-surgical solutions, including targeted physiotherapy, muscle strengthening, ergonomic guidance, lifestyle correction, posture training, and image-guided cervical injections for severe inflammation or nerve compression.

Dr. Arora’s approach blends medical expertise with personalized care, ensuring every patient receives a tailored treatment plan that reduces pain, improves mobility, and prevents future flare-ups. With timely intervention, most patients achieve long-lasting relief and regain comfortable neck movement.

If you or a loved one is struggling with chronic neck pain, stiffness, or symptoms of cervical spondylosis, the Neurology and Pain Management Clinic is here to help you return to a pain-free, active life with trusted expertise and compassionate care.
