It is a common age related condition that affects the joints and disc in the neck. It is also known as cervical osteoarthritis or neck arthritis. This condition tends to start sometime after the age of about 30 years. It develops due to the wear and tear of cartilage and bones found in the cervical spine, which is in the neck. The bones and protective cartilage are prone to wear and tear that can lead to cervical spondylosis. Few people never experience this disorder, but in some cases it becomes chronic, the person suffers from stiffness and severe pain. People with low bone density and less calcium diet are prone to this disease.
