Stay young !!!: Pain issues can result from these aging related changes can be managed usually with nonoperative means such as lifestyle changes like not smoking and regular exercise along with local treatments like massage and heat applications. Otc medication can also help if no issues with their use. Avoid prolonged positions and using correct posture. Cervical spondylosis is a normal finding as we age.

Depends: If spinal cord compression causes significant symptoms surgical treatment is the best option. For minor symptoms and normal neurologic function a physical therapy directed exercise program is good.
