Cervical Arthritis

Cervical arthritis is the wear and inflammation of the joints and discs of the spine in the neck area, a process usually related to the passing of the years and the use of the cervical region. It affects mobility and can cause discomfort.

Common symptoms: pain and stiffness in the neck, difficulty turning the head, clicking when moving, and, at times, discomfort that spreads toward the shoulders.

When to seek care? If the pain becomes persistent, limits movement, or is accompanied by strange sensations in the arms or hands, it is worth evaluating.

The specialist who studies these conditions of the spine is the orthopedist. If the neck discomfort affects your day-to-day life, a professional evaluation allows you to understand its origin and define the appropriate care.
