A less technical name for this condition is osteoarthritis of the
neck, or degenerative disk disease of the
neck.. The most common symptom is stiff
neck which is most often one of the very first signs. Neck stiffness tends to grow progressively worse over time. Along with pain, cervical spondylosis can be accompanied by parathesias and muscle weakness in the neck, shoulders, arms and hands, and a syndrome called “numb, clumsy hands”. Dizziness may occur on neck movement .
