Cervical Osteoarthritis

Cervical Osteoarthritis (COA) is an inflammatory joint condition that affects the neck and spine. It can cause stiffness and pain in the neck, shoulders, and arms, and may lead to difficulty in performing everyday activities. COA is caused by wear and tear on the spine, and is most common in people over the age of 50. It is important to seek medical attention early on in order to prevent further damage and disability. Treatment options include physical therapy, medications, and in severe cases, surgery. COA affects millions of people worldwide and having an understanding of the condition and its management options is essential in providing quality care.
