Also called cervical osteoarthritis, neck arthritis is a leading cause of neck pain in adults. You may recognize it by the ongoing pain in your cervical spine, which is in your upper back and neck, and the tissues surrounding them. Living with this neck condition makes it difficult to do the things you love.
Arthritis occurs when the facet joints’ connective tissues and bones degenerate with age or from an injury. The facet joints in your cervical spine allow the smooth forward and back movements that make your neck one of the most flexible parts of your body.
The flexibility also makes your neck prone to arthritis, which you’ll notice when:

Neck arthritis may be caused by damage to the facet joints of your cervical spine.
There are several reasons for this damage, including:
Neck arthritis is most common in people over age 50, as the connective neck tissues in the facet joints weaken. A previous neck injury or a job that stresses your neck increases your likelihood of developing neck arthritis as you age. Neck arthritis almost always gets worse without proper treatment.
