There are seven cervical vertebrae in our neck; and are arranged one over another with a particular gap between each other.
Our neck has seven cervical vertebrae. These vertebrae are arranged one over another, having a particular gap between In some conditions like ageing, injuries, any disease related to bones and in the condition of wear or growing of bones the distance or gap between these vertebrae becomes abnormal. Consequently the nerves passing, through the region get pressurized. This pressure gives rise to the symptoms of this disease. If there is without inflammation it is called Cervical spondylostis. Working continuously in tense atmosphere also produces this condition.
You may not be able to prevent c
ervical spondylosis. However, you may be able to reduce your risk by:
- Skipping high-impact activities, such as running, if you have any neck pain
- Doing exercises to maintain neck strength, flexibility and range of motion
- Taking breaks when driving, watching TV or working on a computer to keep from holding your head in the same position for long periods
- Practicing good posture, with your neck aligned over your shoulders
- Protecting your neck from injury by using a seat belt when in a car
