Surgical intervention may be required for very severe cases of neck osteoarthritis. The procedures may involve removal of bone, osteophytes (bone spurs), or disc tissue which is compressing nerves of the spinal cord. Cervical fusion, or fusing the discs in the cervical region of the spine, may help stabilize the neck.
The alignment of the facet joints of the cervical spine allows freedom of movement as you bend and turn your neck. They are the most common cause of neck pain. Should a piece of the capsule become entrapped, then you have the classical stiff neck that we in chiropractic help on a daily basis. Bread and butter.
