Understanding Cervical Spondylosis: Causes, Symptoms, Exercises, Diet & Relief Products

Cervical Spondylosis, often referred to simply as "cervical", is a common age-related condition affecting the neck and spine. With today's sedentary lifestyle, poor posture, and excessive screen time, cervical issues are no longer limited to the elderly—they’re increasingly seen in younger individuals too.

At Intros Care, we not only help you understand and manage cervical spondylosis but also provide essential products and expert-backed support to ease your discomfort.

🔍 What is Cervical Spondylosis?
Cervical spondylosis is a degenerative condition that affects the discs, joints, and bones of the cervical spine (neck area). Over time, these structures can wear down, causing pain, stiffness, or even nerve compression.

🚨 Common Symptoms

If you’re experiencing any of these signs, cervical spondylosis could be the reason:

Persistent neck pain or stiffness
Headaches (especially starting from the back of the head)
Pain that radiates to shoulders or arms
Numbness or tingling in arms or hands
Muscle weakness
Limited neck mobility
Grinding sound while turning the neck

⚠️ Causes & Risk Factors

Several factors can lead to cervical spondylosis, including:

Ageing: Natural wear and tear
Poor posture: Long hours at desks or on phones
Neck injuries: Old trauma or whiplash
Repetitive movements: Especially in certain professions
Genetics: Family history of spinal problems
Smoking: Reduces blood supply to spinal discs

🧘 Exercises to Relieve Cervical Pain
Gentle neck exercises can improve flexibility and reduce pain. Here are a few simple, doctor-recommended moves:

1. Neck Tilts
Sit upright, slowly tilt your head toward your shoulder

Hold for 10 seconds, repeat on the other side

2. Neck Rotations
Turn your head slowly from one side to the other

Do it 5-10 times

3. Chin Tucks
Tuck your chin towards your chest gently and return

Repeat 10 times to improve posture

4. Shoulder Rolls
Roll shoulders forward and backward 10 times

🟡 Note: Always consult a physiotherapist before starting exercises if you have severe symptoms.

Calcium-Rich Foods: Milk, curd, tofu, almonds
Vitamin D Sources: Eggs, fortified foods, safe sun exposure
Anti-inflammatory Foods: Turmeric, ginger, leafy greens, berries
