Surgical intervention may be required for very severe cases of neck osteoarthritis. The procedures may involve removal of bone, osteophytes (bone spurs), or disc tissue which is compressing nerves of the spinal cord. Cervical fusion, or fusing the discs in the cervical region of the spine, may help stabilize the neck.
The cervical spine is the upper part of your spine that supports your neck. The cervical spine has seven vertebrae. The middle part of your back is your thoracic spine. It is made up of 12 vertebrae. The lumbar spine is your lower back and has five vertebrae. Spinal compression can occur in any of these areas.
