Abstract

Background: The relationship between postural changes around the neck and the development of cervical spondylosis maybe something that's not fully understood and accepted but there some evidence that proves their relationship. Aim: This is review article on the effect of persistent postural changes around the neck on the development of cervical spondylosis and while cervical spondylosis is prevalent among housewives whose most of their house chores required bending of the neck, teachers who writes much of notes, prolonged computer users and in adolescents with prolonged usage of smartphones. Methods: A careful literature search was made on some scientific search engines like pubMed, EMBase using a very sensitive search strategy on researches made on cervical spondylosis and careful analysis was done to link the development to some postural activities another the cervical axis of the spine. Results: The reviews show evidence of relationship between posture and development of cervical spondylosis.
