What Is The Name Of MRI Scan For Cervical Spondolysis?
what is the name of MRI scan for cervical spondolysis? It was detected 2 years back in xray but doctor rejected to accept that. I was not sure what to proceed on this. Later somehow i get to know that the ache in back, pain in spine and needle pain near to showlders and sometime pain to right ear is a symptom of cervical spondolysis. I can't sleep in any postulate for long time like I used to in childhood. I am 29 years old. I do have to make relief to my neck in every 5 to10 mins with some crackling sound. I am bearing this from long run let say 12 years. Please suggest.

Hello,
If you want to check for cervical spondylosis by MRI, the scan to ask for is MRI of the cervical spine. It usually occurs in people who are older than you . It can occur at younger age if you have any congenital problem of the spine or had any trauma or injury to the spine like in footballers who head the ball often. It is also seen in young people who carry weight on the head or has had a whip lash injury in car accident etc, The symptoms you describe can fit in for cervical spondylosis and MRI of the cervical spine would give an answer to whether you have it or not.
I shall be happy to answer if you have further queries.
Wish you good health
