Non surgical-If there is evidence that the rheumatoid arthritis has affected the stability of the cervical spine, the most important part of spine care is close follow-up. Serial x-rays may be needed over time to assess progression and any further instability. Spinal treatment may not always be required. Patients with cervical instability may need to protect their neck with a special neck brace. Surgical Treatment: If there are signs of spinal cord compression, surgical stabilization should be considered to prevent serious neurological damage by fixing any unstable portion of the spine.
