The severity of such symptoms tend to progress over time and occur more frequently amongst older patients. [5] CSM symptoms can be unilateral or bilateral, depending on the lateral regions where compression of the spinal cord and nerve roots occur. [9] If left untreated, CSM can lead to long-term or permanent damage to the spinal cord and nerve ...
Occipito-cervical junction This disorder may result from rheumatoid arthritis, causing the hypermobility of the connection between the neck and head, resulting in paralysis or pain. [6] Cerebrovascular disease Cerebrovascular disease is a type of cervical spine disorder that can cause tetraplegia. [7] Subaxial cervical spine [8] Atlanto-axial joint
TMS can aid physicians to: [10] Determine whether myelopathy exists; Identify the level of the spinal cord where myelopathy is located. This is especially useful in cases where more than two lesions may be responsible for the clinical symptoms and signs, such as in patients with two or more cervical disc hernias [11]
In cervical spondylosis, a patient may be presented with dull neck pain with neck stiffness in the initial stages of the disease. As the disease progresses, symptoms related to radiculopathy (due to compression of exiting spinal nerve by narrowed intervertebral foramen) or myelopathy (due to compression on the spinal cord) can occur.

Temporomandibular joint pain is generally due to one of four reasons. Myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome, primarily involving the muscles of mastication. This is the most common cause. Internal derangements, an abnormal relationship of the disc to any of the other components of the joint. Disc displacement is an example of internal derangement.
TMJ dysfunction is commonly associated with symptoms affecting cervical spine dysfunction and altered head and cervical spine posture. [ 26 ] Other signs and symptoms have also been described, although these are less common and less significant than the cardinal signs and symptoms listed above.
TMJ can cause symptoms such as jaw pain, facial discomfort, headaches, tinnitus, and other symptoms, including muffled hearing. Patients with TMJ may experience muffled hearing and ear fullness ...
This can be simply corrected by sleeping with the arm down next to the body and maintained under a long nightgown [5]. Nightly rotator cuff impingement may lead to an asymptomatic shoulder impingement [6] which explains why over 100 years of research has failed to identify a lesion in the cervical spine that causes this common shoulder/neck pain.
