Spondylosis is a common, age-related condition that refers to the degeneration of the spine’s bones, discs, and joints. Often regarded as a natural part of ageing, spondylosis can lead to chronic discomfort, stiffness, and mobility challenges if left untreated.
Understanding its causes, symptoms, and treatment options is essential for managing its impact on daily life.
Causes of Spondylosis
Spondylosis occurs as a result of wear and tear on the spine over time. Factors contributing to this condition include:
- Age: This is the most significant factor, as the spine’s structural components naturally degenerate with ageing.
- Disc Degeneration: As people age, their spinal discs lose water, becoming thinner and less capable of supporting vertebrae.
- Bone Spurs: As the body tries to stabilise the spine, it can form bony growths, which may put pressure on nerves.
- Genetics: A family history of spinal issues can increase the susceptibility of developing spondylosis.
- Lifestyle Factors: Poor posture, lack of exercise, and repetitive strain contribute to accelerated spine degeneration.
Symptoms of Spondylosis
Symptoms vary based on the severity and location of the degeneration. The most common complaints include:
- Stiffness: It becomes difficult to bend or turn the neck or back.
- Pain: One may feel aching or sharp pain, often localised in the neck or lower back.
- Reduced Mobility: Due to spinal discomfort, performing everyday activities becomes troublesome.
- Nerve Symptoms: If nerves get compressed, symptoms like numbness, tingling, or weakness may spread to the arms or legs.
Solutions for Spondylosis
Treatment focuses on pain relief and preventing further degeneration. An affected person may apply the following tips to alleviate the symptoms.
- Lifestyle Adjustments: Maintaining good posture, staying active, and avoiding heavy lifting are critical.
- Physical Therapy: There are exercises to strengthen muscles supporting the spine and improve flexibility.
- Medications: Over-the-counter pain relievers or muscle relaxants are available for temporary relief.
- Spinal Decompression Therapy: For long-lasting relief, this non-surgical approach effectively addresses the root causes.
