Many people think that the bone spurs seen in the cervical spine on X-ray are cervical spondylosis, but they are not. Because cervical spondylosis is a complex clinical syndrome of the cervical spine, it not only has abnormal manifestations on the X-ray, but also has corresponding clinical symptoms due to the stimulation or compression of the nervous system or vertebral artery caused by pathological changes in the cervical spine. As for the cervical spine spurs seen on X-ray, they are only changes in the cervical spine to adapt to the changes in stress, and they are a sign of degeneration. Many studies have shown that 90% of men and women over the age of 50 and over the age of 60 can have varying degrees of cervical spine osteophytes; those over the age of 70 almost always have osteoarthrosis changes on the X-ray, but most people do not have clinical symptoms. This is because the bone spurs that grow in the cervical spine area are a manifestation of degeneration and compensation caused by chronic strain or injury to the cervical spine in people’s long-term work and life, and a defensive response of the cervical spine to adapt to changes in stress. It is both physiological and may be transformed into pathological. It can be the case that the cervical spine, which is unstable due to disc degeneration, becomes more stable, but it may also cause compression of the surrounding nerves and blood vessels, and the corresponding clinical symptoms appear. It can be seen that cervical spine spurs can be one of the causes of symptoms, but it is not the main basis for the diagnosis of cervical spondylosis. From clinical observation, the symptoms of cervical spondylosis are not proportional to the presence or absence and size of bone spurs, and cervical spondylosis can have osteophytes, but the presence of osteophytes does not always have the symptoms of cervical spondylosis. It can be seen that long bone spurs in the cervical spine are not always cervical spondylosis.
