What is Cervical Disc Protrusion?
Treatment options for symptomatic bone spurs in the neck could include:
Sometimes headaches result from cervical degenerative disc problems. Cervical disc disorders if advanced enough are diagnosable on plain x-ray, which shows collapse or reduction in the height of the disc and possible bone spurs and bony end plate changes. An MRI is most useful diagnostic imaging for these conditions.
Cervical osteophytes are bone spurs that grow on any of the seven vertebrae in the cervical spine (neck), ranging from the base of the skull, C1 vertebra, to the base of the neck, C7 vertebra.
Osteophytes are bony lumps (bone spurs) that grow on the bones of the spine or around the joints. They often form next to joints affected by osteoarthritis, a condition that causes joints to become painful and stiff. Osteophytes can grow from any bone, but they're most often found in the: neck.
Disc osteophyte complex is the development of osteophytes (bone spurs) affecting more than one intervertebral disk or spinal vertebrae. Osteophytes or bone spurs develop in the musculoskeletal system due to normal wear and tear as you age.

Causes of cervical osteophytes include diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, ankylosing spondylitis, degenerative changes, and prior trauma, including surgery [5]. Anterior cervical osteophytes are generally asymptomatic; however, in rare cases, they can lead to dysphagia, dysphonia, and dyspnea [6-7].
Overview. Bone spurs are bony projections that develop along bone edges. Bone spurs (osteophytes) often form where bones meet each other — in your joints. They can also form on the bones of your spine. The main cause of bone spurs is the joint damage associated with osteoarthritis.
Foraminal disc osteophyte complex: Bone spurs that develop in the foramen – the hollow archways on both sides of two adjacent vertebra, through which the spinal nerve roots run. Facet Joint Osteophytes: Bone spurs that develop surrounding the facet joints, which help connect two adjacent vertebrae together.
The disc osteophyte complex is a protruding ridge composed of chronically bulging disc encased with bony hypertrophy and granulation or scar tissue and is different from a focal or pure disc herniation, which are less common in the cervical spine.
Overview. Neural foraminal stenosis, or neural foraminal narrowing, is a type of spinal stenosis. It occurs when the small openings between the bones in your spine, called the neural foramina, narrow or tighten.
ICD-10 code M50. 30 for Other cervical disc degeneration, unspecified cervical region is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Dorsopathies .
ICD-10 code: M48. 02 Spinal stenosis Cervical region.
Cervical spondylosis is also called cervical osteoarthritis. It is a condition involving changes to the bones, discs, and joints of the neck. These changes are caused by the normal wear-and-tear of aging. With age, the discs of the cervical spine gradually break down, lose fluid, and become stiffer.
Code M54.2 is the diagnosis code used for Cervicalgia (Neck Pain). It is a common problem, with two-thirds of the population having neck pain at some point in their lives.
ICD-10 codes are the byproduct of that revision. This medical classification list is generated by the World Health Organization (WHO), and is used to help healthcare providers identify and code health conditions. ICD-10 is required for use by physicians and healthcare providers under the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) ...
