  • Each foramen is bounded superiorly and inferiorly by the pedicle, anteriorly by the intervertebral disc and vertebral body, and posteriorly by facet joints. (medscape.com)
Ligaments3
  • This is usually due to structural changes from spondylosis, but may also be due to herniated discs, thickened ligaments, injuries, tumours and congenital disorders. (singhealth.com.sg)

  • Intervertebral disc height increases with age. (wikimsk.org)
Spinous process1
  • It lacks a vertebral body, spinous process, and discs either superior or inferior to it. (wikipedia.org)
Neck4
  • Cervical spondylosis is a degenerative health concern characterized by excruciating pain, stiffness, numbness, and restricted movement of the neck. (kairalipharma.com)
  • Repeated movements or postures that strain the neck, such as holding the head forward for prolonged periods, can contribute to the development of cervical spondylosis. (kairalipharma.com)

  • Most people mistake cervical spondylosis for neck sprain or fatigue and often refuse the treatment only to worsen their situation. (kairalipharma.com)
Treatments1
Deformation1
  • The increased collagen and collagen-proteoglycan binding leads the disc to become stiffer (more resistant to deformation), and the decreased water-binding capacity means they are less able to recover from creep deformation. (wikimsk.org)
Pain4
  • Degenerative disc disease is when one or more of the discs between the vertebrae of the spinal column deteriorates or breaks down, leading to pain. (medicalnewstoday.com)
  • This appears to reduce pain, possibly by causing collagen to contract so that it repairs damage in the disc. (medicalnewstoday.com)
  • Over time, the discs become thin and also dehydrate, and the pressure they can take decreases, and the vertebrae are subject to greater stress, which can cause pain. (neck-fix.com)
  • Desiccations of all intervertebral discs which leads to Unbearable Pain & Loss of Mobility. (thenaturesown.com)
Deterioration1
  • this will increase the levels of oxygen to the affected area and prevent further deterioration of the discs. (backpainexpert.co.uk)
