Cervical spondylosis, commonly referred to as neck arthritis, is a degenerative illness that affects the cervical spine. It is due to the wear and tear of the cartilage and bones, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Dr. Ameya Rangnekar specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of cervical spondylosis, offering thorough treatment that incorporates both conservative and surgical options. Early intervention and customized treatment program is essential for managing signs and keeping spinal health.
Dr. Rangnekar uses a multidisciplinary approach to manage cervical spondylosis, adapted to the particular patient’s condition and requirements. Treatment options include:
Cervical spondylosis is primarily caused by age-related wear and tear on the cervical spine, leading to degeneration of discs and joints.
Diagnosis involves a physical examination, review of medical history, and imaging studies such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to assess the extent of degeneration and spinal changes.
Surgery is considered when conservative treatments fail to alleviate symptoms, or when there is significant nerve or spinal cord compression causing severe pain or neurological deficits.
Recovery involves a period of rest, followed by physical therapy to regain strength and flexibility. Patients can expect gradual improvement in symptoms and return to normal activities over several weeks to months, guided by Dr. Rangnekar’s personalized care plan.
