What is Cervical Spondylosis? How Bio stimulation Cold laser helps to overcome it?
Age-related wear and tear affecting the spinal disks of neck is called cervical spondylosis. The disks shrink and dehydrate, signs of osteoarthritis develop, including bony projections at the end of bones (bone spurs).
Cervical spondylosis is quite common and worsens with age. More than 85% of people older than age 60 are affected by this pain. A few may not face no symptoms. But non-surgical treatment or cold laser treatment would definitely would be effective if it occurs when people grow old.
Symptoms of Cervical Spondylosis?
Many won’t even experience any symptoms. Usually, it would include stiffness and pain in the neck. The spinal canal is the space inside the vertebrae that the spinal cord and the nerve roots pass through to reach the rest of the body. Many times, cervical spondylosis results in a narrowing of the spinal canal within the bones of the spine (the vertebrae).
When nerve roots or the spinal gets pinched, people might experience, tingling, numbness and weakness in arms, hands, legs or feet. Difficulty walking and lack of coordination while walking and loss of bladder or bowel control is also another symptom.

When treatment required?
One should consult doctor or cold laser therapist if he or she notice a sudden onset of numbness or weakness, or loss of bowel or bladder control.
Causes
As it is mentioned earlier, most of the time it causes due to age. The structures that make up the backbone and neck gradually develop wear and tear. It will have the following symptoms too.
- Dehydrated disks. Disks act like cushions between the vertebrae of the spine. By the age of 40, most people’s spinal disks begin shrinking out and drying. As the disks shrink, there is more bone-on-bone contact between the vertebrae.
- Herniated disks. Cracks also appear on the exterior of the spinal disks. The soft interior of a disk can squeeze through these cracks. It presses on the spinal cord and nerve roots sometimes.
- Bone spurs. As the disk breaks down, the body might produce extra amount of bone in a misguided effort to strengthen the spine. These bone spurs can sometimes put pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots.Stiff ligaments. Cords of tissue that connects bone to bone is called Ligaments. Spinal ligaments can stiffen with age, making the neck stiff or less flexible.Who Can get cold laser therapy treatment?
What is risk?
1. Age is the main cause for this cervical spondylosis and bio stimulation laser therapy would be helpful to manage the severe pain.
2. Neck injuries. Previous neck injuries appear to increase the risk of cervical spondylosis.
3. Occupation. Works that involve repetitive neck motions, awkward positioning or a lot of overhead work put extra pressure on the neck.
4. Genetic factors. Some people in certain families will experience more of these changes over time.
5. Smoking. Smoking kind of addiction has been linked to increased neck pain.
Complications
If cervical spondylosis severely compresses the nerve roots or spinal, the damage could be permanent.
Cold Laser Therapy is the solution
Bio stimulation cold laser therapy is the best solution of Cervical Spondylosis. The therapy will be given by trained therapist with using a laser machine developed with advanced technology. It has been approved the FDA since 2005.
