Muscular & Nerve Disorders Answer A593

You can take an X-ray image of the cervical vertebral column to look for spondylotic changes (osteofits, disc protrusion etc.) in the spine. Spondylotic changes create pressure on the roots of spinal nerves’ that can cause pain, itching, numbness, muscle weakness, and even paralyses...if the pressure on the nerves lasts too long.
