WHAT IS SPONDYLOSIS?

Spondylosis, or spinal osteoarthritis, is a degenerative condition affecting the spine due to wear and tear. It primarily occurs in facet joints where vertebrae connect, impacting mobility and potentially compressing nerves. Spondylosis often affects the cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) regions.

TYPES OF SPONDYLOSIS

  • Cervical (neck)
  • Thoracic (mid-back)
  • Lumbar (lower back)
  • Lumbosacral (lower back and sacrum)

SIGNS & SYMPTOMS

  • Persistent back, neck, or mid-back pain
  • Stiffness and restricted mobility
  • Pain radiating to limbs in some cases
  • Occasional tingling or numbness

CAUSES

Aging is the main cause, leading to disc and joint degeneration and bone spur formation, which can compress nerves and cause pain. Other risk factors include genetic predisposition, prior injuries, and lifestyle factors.
