Cervical spondylosis is a common degenerative disorder of the cervical spine characterized by progressive intervertebral disc degeneration, osteophyte formation, neck pain, and functional limitations. Its prevalence has increased significantly due to sedentary lifestyles, poor posture, and occupational strain. Conventional management strategies, including pharmacological treatment, physiotherapy, and surgical intervention in severe cases, primarily provide symptomatic relief and may be associated with side effects or recurrence. Therefore, there is a growing need for safe and holistic therapeutic approaches. Yoga, an ancient mind–body discipline integrating physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and relaxation practices, has emerged as a promising complementary intervention for musculoskeletal disorders. This review aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of yogic interventions in the management of cervical spondylosis. Evidence from existing clinical studies indicates that yoga significantly reduces pain intensity, improves cervical range of motion, enhances muscular strength, and promotes psychological well-being. disorders.
