Cervical Spondylosis

Cervical spondylosis refers to age-related wear and tear of the bones, disks, and joints in the neck (cervical spine). This “arthritis of the neck” can lead to disk thinning and bone spur formation. Many people have some degree of spondylosis by age 60, often without symptoms.

Common Symptoms

Neck pain and stiffness that may worsen after rest
Muscle spasms or tightness in the neck and shoulders
Grinding or popping sounds when moving the neck

First‑Aid Tips for Tremor Episodes

Tip 1:

Keep the environment safe by removing sharp or breakable items

Tip 2:

Support the affected limb or use a stable surface when eating or writing

Tip 3:

Practice slow, guided breathing to help reduce stress-related tremor spikes

When to Consult a Doctor

Seek medical advice if neck pain persists beyond a few weeks, worsens despite home care, or radiates into the arms. Urgent evaluation is needed when you experience severe weakness, loss of coordination, or bladder or bowel control problems. Early diagnosis can guide pain relief measures, therapy, and lifestyle changes to protect your spine.
