Osteochondrosis of the cervix is considered one of the most dangerous lesions of the spine, as a large number of vital vessels and arteries and capillaries are concentrated in the cervical area. We talk about the complications of cervical spine osteochondrosis.
Osteochondrosis of the cervix is the pathological change in the tissues of the intervertebral discs and the vertebrae themselves. As a result, soft tissues become thinner, and the cushioning effect of the vertebrae diminishes. Compression of blood vessels and nerve fibers occurs, and mobility of the cervical spine is reduced.
