Cervical Spondylosis (Neck Arthritis) Treatment in Johor Bahru

Spondilosis Serviks (Artritis Leher)

Cervical spondylosis is age-related wear and tear of the cervical spine (neck bones and discs). It is extremely common — X-Ray changes are present in over 85% of people above 60 years of age, though not all develop symptoms. Degeneration of cervical discs and formation of bone spurs can compress nearby nerves or the spinal cord, causing neck pain, stiffness, arm pain, and numbness. In Malaysia, prolonged smartphone and computer use is accelerating neck problems in younger people.

Symptoms of Cervical Spondylosis (Neck Arthritis)

Neck pain and stiffness, worse in the morning
Headache originating from the base of the skull
Pain radiating down the arm or shoulder (cervical radiculopathy)
Numbness or tingling in the hands or fingers
Weakness in the arms or legs (if spinal cord compressed)
Grating sensation or sound when moving the neck

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor for persistent neck pain lasting more than 2 weeks, pain radiating down the arm with numbness, or any weakness in arms or legs. Seek urgent care for sudden severe neck pain after injury, or difficulty with bladder or bowel control — these may indicate spinal cord compression.
