The neck is an important part of the long flexible column, also known as the backbone or spinal column that extends through most of the body. The neck region or the cervical spine consists of sevens bines (vertebrae C1-C7), and they are separated from each other with intervertebral discs. The discs presence helps the spine move freely and acts as a shock absorber from trauma or injury. The neck anatomy is a very well designed structure of bones, nerve, muscles, tendons, and tendons. The cervical spine covers the spinal cord that sends a message from the brain to other body organs, control locomotion, flexibility, and other body co-ordinating activities. The seven vertebrates of the neck are connected to the thoracic spine (the upper back). The stress or force can cause trauma to the cervical spine. It can lead to the development of various painful conditions such as cervical osteoarthritis, stenosis, herniated disc, and degenerative disc disease.

A variety of factors causes neck pain. Many a time, lifestyle changes, and with the help of conservative treatments, the neck pain will eventually go away. If these conventional methods do not show effective results and suffer from long-term neck pain, then surgery is recommended to treat the concern.

Cervical Spine Surgery The group of nerves extends from the brain and runs through the cervical spine, thoracic spine, and lumbar spine and helps in the transmission of the information or impulses from the bran to other body parts.The cervical spine supports the head and allows head flexibility that includes rotation, extension, and lateral bending motions. The cervical disc is present in between the cervical vertebrae, and this aid in providing strength to support the head.

Diagnosis of Cervical Spine Conditions:

Circulation of blood to the brain The vertebrae's opening in the cervical spine allows a passageway for vertebral arteries and ensures that the proper flow of blood to the brain takes place.
