An anterior osteophyte formation in the cervical spine refers to a bony outgrowth in the front portion of the vertebrae. It can potentially cause muscle spasms by irritating surrounding structures and nerve roots. However, dizziness and tremors in the neck are less commonly associated with osteophyte formation, and evaluation by a healthcare provider is recommended to determine the exact cause of these symptoms.
Osteophyte formation is typically considered irreversible, as it represents new bone growth in response to joint degeneration or injury. While certain treatments may help manage symptoms and slow down the progression of osteophytes, complete reversal of the bony growth is unlikely without surgical intervention.
When you get degenerative changes (wear-and-tear) of your joints, one of the things that can happen is the formation of bone spurs. The technical term for this is "osteophyte" formation. The uncovertebral joints are between the bones in your neck. These terms together mean that you have some degenerative change in your neck, which is not uncommon as people age. More specifics would need to be known to determine how much, if any, these changes are affecting how you feel.
