Organizations Dealing With Cervical Spondylosis

• Arthritis Research Campaign (ARC).  "The Arthritis Research Campaign (arc), founded in 1936, raises funds to promote medical research into the cause, treatment and cure of arthritic conditions: to educate medical students, doctors and allied healthcare professionals about arthritis and to provide information to people affected by arthritis and to the general public.
  
  More than seven million people in the UK have long-term health problems due to arthritis or a related condition. Arthritis is the second most common cause of time off work among both men and women. One child in every thousand has a childhood form of arthritis, belying the perception that it is a conditon that only affects the elderly.
  
  arc is the only major medical research charity in the UK investigating arthritis in all its forms. Millions of pounds are provided every year for grants funding research, education and training."
• Hospital for Joint Diseases Spine Center.  "The Hospital for Joint Diseases Spine Center began in 1997, prompted by the need to provide coordinated, multidisciplinary care for patients with spinal disorders. The Spine Center brings together hospital physician experts in the fields of Orthopaedic and Neurological Surgery, Neurology, Rehabilitation Medicine, Rheumatology, and Pain Management with state-of-the-art facilities and expertise in diagnostic testing and physical therapy. This coordination of care among the different specialties helps speed up the diagnostic work-up and implementation of appropriate treatment, limiting periods of pain and disability and avoiding the need for surgical treatment in many cases. Weekly staff meetings discuss active interesting and difficult cases to provide input from various specialty perspectives. Other spine care specialists from outside the Spine Center also attend, presenting their difficult cases for additional expert opinion."
