Abstract: Cervical spondylosis (CS) is a degenerative disorder affecting the cervical spine, with increasing prevalence globally due to sedentary lifestyles and prolonged screen exposure. This review synthesizes findings from recent literature (primarily the last five years) on the epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis, and management of CS. A significant rise in neck pain among young adults and students, especially due to poor posture and excessive digital device use, has been documented.1-4 Various psychosocial, ergonomic, and demographic factors contribute to CS.5-8 Diagnostic advances and a multidisciplinary approach incorporating physical therapy, ergonomics, and surgical interventions have shown promising outcomes.9-12 Public health strategies focusing on education, early intervention, and workplace ergonomics are critical to mitigating the burden of CS.6,11
