Dr. Wang:
Cervical arthritis is kind of a general term. The most common form is just age-related changes, but there are people that have other types of arthritis that are more part of a systemic disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, and that can affect the spine. In general, when we see degenerative changes in the cervical spine, we can call that generally, cervical arthritis.
