Diagnoza:

Arthritis refers to a collection of diseases that cause inflammation and pain in the joints. There are various forms of arthritis, including the age-related osteoarthritis, which is the most common of all forms. Osteoarthritis of the neck causes inflammation of the facet joints between the cervical vertebrae and subsequent breakdown of the cartilage that acts as a cushioning surface between them. The gradual worsening of the cartilage degeneration associated with osteoarthritis occurs as affected individuals age, with the cartilage eventually declining to the point that friction between the spinal vertebrae is the source of pain. Osteophytes, Modern Heart or irregular bony growths that enlarge the vertebrae, may occur as a result of the body’s attempt to repair the friction damage caused by the vertebrae rubbing against one another. While there aren’t any treatments that exist to stop the degenerative process caused by arthritis, there are medications available to limit the pain it causes. Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine provides multiple options for the relief of cervical arthritis symptoms.
