Cervical pain, how to soothe cervical osteoarthritis

The cervical spine is the upper part of the spinal column. Located at the level of the neck, the 7 cervical vertebrae bear the weight of the head and allow the neck to tilt, flex, extend or rotate. Like all joints, the cervical vertebrae are subject to extreme stress and can become painful. When this pain is linked to premature wear of the cartilage, we speak of cervical osteoarthritis.

Cervical osteoarthritis is a debilitating condition that mainly affects people over the age of 40, but it can also be triggered by professional activity, trauma or, more simply, hereditary factors.

What is cervical osteoarthritis?

Also known as cervicarthrosis, cervical osteoarthritis is a musculoskeletal disorder of the cervical spine. This is the upper part of the spinal column. It extends from the base of the brain to the top of the thoracic spine, and is made up of 7 vertebrae. The mobility of these vertebrae is ensured by several articular surfaces called intervertebral discs, they are composed of "fibrous" cartilage.

Early degeneration can cause these discs to shrink and deteriorate. Their ability to absorb shocks is greatly diminished, the weight of the head alone becomes difficult to bear, and movement is also restricted. L'cervical osteoarthritis is a medical condition that is extremely painful and disabling in all daily activities, but it can also cause significant sleep disturbance.

What causes cervical osteoarthritis?

Cervicarthrosis can have several causes. Firstly, natural aging is, of course, the most common cause of osteoarthritis. With age, cartilage wears down and mobility becomes more difficult. But an imbalance between cartilage degeneration and regeneration can also be the cause of cervicarthrosis. Visit cartilage is wearing out faster than it can regenerate, an MRI can be used to visualize and validate the diagnosis.

A trauma A major impact can also lead to a weakening of the cervical spine. The after-effects of the impact can lead to cartilage cracks and vertebral compression.
