Allowing full range of motion and with its low profile design, the Optimal Neck Support Brace cervical collar is the perfect choice for treatment of cervical spondylosis. Depending on your diagnosis, there are a number of medicinal, physical and surgical treatments that are available for cervical spondylosis (or neck osteoarthritis).
Cervical Spondylosis: Arthritis of the Neck
In essence, arthritis refers to an arthritic joint inflammation. It could affect the joints, bones, the tissues surrounding the joints and other connective tissues. There are many forms of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis (chronic system inflammatory disorder), psoriatic arthritis, septic, reactive arthritis (autoimmune disease), ankylosing spondylitis, systemic lupus erythematosis, and fibromyalgia. Osteoarthritis is also included in this list. Most patients suffer from arthritis or osteoarthritis.
Many forms of arthritis can cause symptoms that affect various organs of the body, which do not directly involve the joints. Some of these symptoms include weight loss, swollen glands (lymph node), fever, fatigue, malaise, and even symptoms from abnormalities of organs such as lungs, heart or kidneys. Rheumatoid arthritis, for example, is associated with stiffness, fatigue, mild fever, poor digestion, loss of energy, constipation, decreased appetite, and muscle and joint pain. It tends to become worse in the morning.
What is Cervical Spondylosis (Neck Osteoarthritis)?
Cervical spondylosis is a result of age-related wear and tear of the spinal discs of the neck. Being a degenerative joint disease, a person’s facet joints of the cervical spine can degenerate with age or injury, resulting in arthritis of the neck. It appears to affect men and women over 40 years and continues to worsen with age. However, on average, men seem to develop this condition earlier than women.
Destruction of cervical joint cartilage is a key characteristic of neck osteoarthritis. This breakdown of cartilage allows the bones to rub against each other and the result is pain, stiffness, and loss of movement in the joint. Neck osteoarthritis tends to compress one or more nerve roots in the cervical spine region. This compression of nerves not only causes pain in the neck, but it can also radiate to the arms by causing numbness, pain, weakness and tingling in the arms. Spine arthritis is characterized by stiffness and loss of flexibility of the spine, not to mention the pain.
