Abstract	Cervical spine degeneration is a common condition with significant clinical impact, often presenting with neck pain, reduced mobility, and neurological symptoms. Lateral cervical spine radiographs serve as an essential first-line imaging modality, offering valuable insights into spinal alignment, disc space narrowing, osteophyte formation, and other bony changes. These radiographic features help in diagnosing, staging, and managing cervical spondylosis. Despite limitations in soft tissue evaluation, X-rays remain a cost-effective and accessible tool, especially in settings with limited access to advanced imaging. This study underscores the importance of systematic radiographic interpretation in understanding and managing cervical degenerative disease.
