Cervical Spondylosis Treatment
Cervical Spondylosis: Age-Related Changes
Cervical spondylosis is a condition where the bones, discs, and joints in the neck gradually wear down with age. It’s one of the most common causes of neck pain in adults over 40, though it can develop earlier. Most cases are linked to the natural aging process, which is why it’s often referred to as arthritis of the neck. If you’re experiencing persistent neck pain or stiffness, book an appointment with True Physio today and start your journey toward better neck health.
The wear and tear affect the cervical spine, the seven small bones that make up your neck. Over time, the discs between these bones can lose moisture and height, bone spurs may develop, and the joints can become stiff. Some people feel no symptoms at all, while others experience neck pain, stiffness, headaches, or even tingling down the arms.
Cervical spondylosis can impact how you move through daily life. It can affect your ability to look over your shoulder when driving, work comfortably at a desk, or carry out tasks that require neck flexibility. For some, it also brings worry about worsening symptoms or long-term mobility. Early intervention matters, especially as symptoms can progress without proper management.
How Physiotherapy Can Help Cervical Spondylosis Treatment
Physiotherapy won’t reverse wear and tear, but it helps you feel stronger, more mobile, and confident through improved posture, pain management, and maintained function.
Treatment includes strengthening deep neck flexors, improving mobility through gentle stretching, and using manual therapy to ease discomfort. Your physiotherapist will also guide you on practical daily habits—from workstation setup to sleep positions—that reduce strain.
Plans are tailored to your needs, whether managing mild stiffness or persistent nerve symptoms. The goal is progress: moving better and living with confidence.
If you experience lower back issues alongside neck pain, our Lower Back Physiotherapy services provide comprehensive spinal care.
