    Understand your Disease Well

    Causes of Cervical Spondylitis:

    1. Age-related wear and tear (main cause).

    2. Dehydration of spinal discs – discs lose fluid and shrink.

    3. Bone spurs (osteophytes) – extra bone growth to support the spine can press on nerves.

    4. Herniated discs – slipping of discs can irritate spinal nerves.

    5. Stiff ligaments – loss of flexibility in spinal ligaments.

    6. Repetitive strain – prolonged sitting, poor posture, or excessive neck movement (e.g., desk jobs, using phones/computers).

    7. Injuries – previous neck trauma.

    8. Genetics – family history may play a role.

    9. Smoking – accelerates spinal disc degeneration.
