Cervical Spondylosis usually starts earlier in men than women. Usually it doesn’t lead to disability but sometimes these changes in the spine can cause compression which makes the finger clumsy. In Karnataka incidence and prevalence is 7.25 cases per 1000 populations and in Bangalore prevalence of Cervical Spondylosis is 23.25 per 10000 populations.
