What Is Cervical Spine Disorder?
The cervical spine refers to the upper part of the spine located in the neck region. Cervical spine disorders occur due to disc degeneration, nerve compression, injury, poor posture, or age-related changes. These conditions can lead to neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and radiating pain into the shoulders and arms.
