Cervical radiculopathy is a condition caused by compression or irritation of a nerve root in the cervical spine, often resulting in pain, numbness, or weakness that radiates down the arm. Common causes are spondylosis, disc herniation, stenosis and bone spur.
Cervical spondylosis is a degenerative condition of the cervical spine (neck). It is a natural process of aging in which wear and tear occurs in the cervical bone and cartilage. In the cervical spine this chronic degenerative process affects the intervertebral discs and facet joints, and may progress to disk herniation, bone spur formation, vertebral body degeneration, or compression of the spinal cord. It presents in the majority of people after the fifth decade of life.
A neck muscle sprain occurs when the muscles in the neck are stretched or torn, often resulting from sudden movements, heavy lifting or abrupt twisting, or awkward sleeping positions. Besides that, poor posture during prolonged activities, such as working at a desk or looking down at a phone, can also contribute to muscle tension and sprains.
