10 Cervical Spondylosis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #4: Grinding Sound
The joints of our skeleton are fairly well lubricated and also have cartilage that helps provide a “soft” cushion. This helps them to move with ease and without rubbing against the other joints in the body. This is not always the case, though, and people with cervical spondylosis can have some difficulty in moving their neck.
When patients do move their neck then they will often experience a grinding sound and sensation. This can leave them reluctant to move their neck at all. This occurs when the different bones are able to come into direct contact with each other and it can potentially cause permanent damage.
