f&q
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.
