Cervical Spondylitis Diagnosis
Clinical evaluation is immensely important for the diagnosis of cervical spondylitis. The findings can be confirmed by:
X-ray of neck (cervical spine) which may show development of spurs (bony outgrowths) on the vertebrae.
MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) can be done to confirm diagnosis and judge the extent of neural damage, if any.
EMG (Electromyelography) can help in diagnosing cervical radiculopathy.
Myelography is used to demonstrate nerve root lesion.
