WHAT IS CERVICAL SPONDYLOSIS (NECK PAIN)?
Cervical spondylosis, commonly known as neck pain, is a condition caused by the age-related degeneration or ‘wear and tear’ of the vertebrae and discs in the neck. As we grow older, typically after the age of 30, everyone experiences some degree of degeneration in the neck. This can result in small, rough areas of bone called osteophytes on the vertebrae, and over time, the discs in the neck may become thinner.
While these changes do not always cause symptoms, for some people, the degeneration may irritate or pressure nearby muscles, ligaments, or nerves, leading to symptoms like neck pain. It’s important to note that not all neck pain is due to cervical spondylosis, but without proper care, untreated neck pain can progress to cervical spondylosis.
If you are looking for neck pain treatment in Gujarat or want expert care for cervical spondylosis, LiveWell Hospital is recognized as a leader in providing expert neck pain treatment and is among the best neck pain treatment and pain management centers in Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh.
CAUSES & SYMPTOMS OF CERVICAL SPONDYLOSIS
Long standing degeneration (wearing away) of the vertebrae and the intervertebral discs is the primary cause behind this disorder. Now this can be triggered due to a number of reasons such as:
Advancing age- Repetitive neck injury
- Poor Muscle tone
- Joint Problem — Cervical Facet Arthropathy
- Ligament or muscle injury
- Disc problem — slipped disc or tear in disc
- Occupational trauma — lifting heavy loads on head, gymnastics, working on the computer for long hours
- Occupations requiring minute concentration wherein people work with bent neck for long time
- Any kind of odd postures that put a strain on the neck
- Smoking
SYMPTOMS INCLUDE:
Neck pain- sometimes headaches mostly in back of head (occiput)
- Movement of the neck makes the pain worse
- Occasional pain in the shoulders
- Often accompanied by neck muscle stiffness
- Pain radiates to the upper arm, forearm or hand
- Giddiness & vertigo associated with pain and stiffness
- Fatigue, disturbed sleep, and impaired ability to work
- Pain in the upper arm
CERVICAL SPONDYLOSIS DIAGNOSIS AT LIVEWELL HOSPITAL
Accurate diagnosis of cervical spondylosis requires a thorough examination and appropriate imaging tests. At LiveWell Hospital, our neck pain/cervical pain specialists team led by Dr. Hitesh Patel, best cervical spondylosis specialist in Ahmedabad, Gujarat will evaluate your medical history, symptoms and conduct various diagnostic procedures, including:
Physical examination: A doctor will assess your neck’s range of motion and check for muscle weakness or nerve issues.
X-rays: An X-ray of the cervical spine is often used to detect bone spurs (osteophytes) or disc thinning.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): MRI is useful for evaluating soft tissues like the discs and nerve roots, helping to identify damage or compression.
EMG (Electromyography): An EMG can be used to assess muscle electrical activity and determine if there is nerve involvement.
Myelogram: In some cases, a contrast dye is injected into the spinal column to provide more detailed images of the spinal cord and nerve roots.
Diagnostic block: A local anesthetic is injected near the suspected nerve root or joint to pinpoint the exact source of pain.
CERVICAL SPONDYLOSIS (NECK PAIN) TREATMENT
1
Conservative Treatments
Physical therapy: Regular neck exercises help increase mobility, reduce stiffness, and strengthen muscles. A neck pain specialist can provide tailored exercises to prevent further degeneration.
Pain medications: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or analgesics can be used to manage pain and inflammation. Muscle relaxants may also be prescribed for spasms.
Heat and cold therapy: Applying heat or cold packs to the neck can help alleviate muscle stiffness and pain.
Posture correction: Ensuring good posture, especially while working, can prevent additional strain on the neck.

Interventional Procedures
If exercise and medicine are not working than your doctor might suggest you some interventions. Pain Management treats such diseases with techniques called intervention.
Some of the most effective advanced treatments for neck pain include:
(A) Cervical Epidural Injection
Cervical epidural injections are a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure used to deliver targeted medication to the inflamed areas of the neck, specifically around the vertebrae and the nerve roots.
This is an x ray guided injection, where anti- inflammatory drug is injected around affected vertebrae and nerve in neck. This helps you to reduce inflammation and keeps neck relaxed and moving. Once a neck is relaxed you can do a good exercise and keep it more fit. This injection we give under local anesthesia and under continuous X ray guidance.
(B) RADIO FREQUENCY ABLATION (RFA)
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure used to target and alleviate pain caused by cervical spondylosis, particularly when the pain is originating from the cervical facet joints (the joints in the back of the neck). The procedure works by using radiofrequency energy to “burn” the pain-transmitting nerves and reduce their ability to send pain signals to the brain.
The main purpose of RFA is to provide long-lasting relief from chronic neck pain. It targets the nerve responsible for pain without the need for invasive surgery. RFA can help significantly reduce inflammation and provide patients with much-needed relief, often allowing them to avoid the need for long-term medication use.
“This procedure is safer than major surgical procedure and gives good pain relief as compare to surgery and is an USA, FDA approved procedures.”
Having treated hundreds of complex cases and even difficult patients effectively we are rated amongst the best hospital for neck pain in Ahmedabad and in the state of Gujarat in India.
