Spondylosis is the common term used to refer to the age related wear and tear of the spine. Cervical spondylosis is the degeneration of spinal discs of your neck. The discs of the spine dehydrate and shrink and signs of osteoarthritis develop including bony projections along the edges of bone called bone spurs. So in general it is the degenerative arthritis of the spine. It is a very common condition and a gradually progressive disorder.
Cervical spondylosis can lead to a variety of serious issues like herniated disc and one spur which will eventually irritate the spinal cord.

Physiotherapy Treatment for Cervical Spondylosis
Physical therapy is extremely important for spondylosis pain relief and spondylosis symptom reduction. Manual therapy of the thoracic spine can be used for reduction of pain, enhance function, increase range of motion, and treat thoracic hypomobility. The therapist gently moves the joint and soft tissues during mobilisation to re – establish normal range of motion, lubricate the joint surfaces, and ease pain. Patients with chronic neck pain are frequently advised to undergo physiotherapy in order to stretch and strengthen their muscles. Through a particular set of exercises, it has been shown to be effective in regaining the mobility, flexibility, and core strength. The advantage of physical therapy is that it not only helps with pain relief but also with pain prevention. Make sure your mattress is providing adequate back support and that all of your seating encourages good posture. The muscles in the spine can act as a supporting structure when you have good posture, which relieves pressure on the spinal joints. Being inactive will prevent your neck from “stiffening up” from too much rest, which could make your symptoms worse.
