10 Cervical Spondylosis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #6: Numb Extremities
Our spinal cord transports messages to and from the brain to the rest of the body. This is necessary because it allows us to move around and to also sense the world around us, among other things.
In cases of cervical spondylosis, the nerves can become irritated when passing through the boney areas of the neck. This will impair their ability to pass messages to and from the brain and the patient can experience numbness as a result. Patients will also sometimes experience weakness and/or a tingling sensation.
