Typical symptoms of cervical spondylosis include neck and shoulder pain, difficulty turning the head, numbness in the hands, dizziness, and pain on the inner side of the scapula. If symptoms persist for 2–4 weeks without improvement, recur frequently, or if numbness and weakness in the hands become more pronounced, it is recommended to have an X-ray, ultrasound, or MRI to evaluate for bone spurs, intervertebral disc degeneration, or nerve compression.
