Can you get arthritis in your neck?!


Question:

Can you get arthritis in your neck?


Answers:

Yup! I've got it and I'm only 38. If you suspect you do it's important that you see your doctor to get xrays. As the discs shrink you body is prompted to compensate for the weakness. You can start to grow osteophytes (essentially extra pieces of bone) as the body tries to stabilize the neck. If they fuse to the next one you have a serious issue. Chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, and neck strengthening exercises will help.
