It is also called an uncovertebral joint because it forms where the uncinate process meets the vertebra above. It is most commonly discussed in relation to cervical spine motion, arthritis, and nerve space narrowing. Clinicians often reference it when reading neck imaging or planning treatment for cervical radiculopathy."}
