Lumbar Spondylosis

What is Lumbar Spondylosis?

Lumbar Spondylosis is age-related change of the bones (vertebrae) and discs of the spine. These changes are often called degenerative disc disease and osteoarthritis. These changes don’t always cause symptoms. But they are a common cause of spine problems that can range from mild to severe.

CAUSES of lumbar spondylosis As your body ages, the discs between the bones of the spine become stiffer and can break down. The bones also wear down and can grow bone spurs. When this condition is in the lower back, it’s called lumbar spondylosis.

SYMPTOMS of lumbar spondylosis There are often no symptoms. When there are symptoms, back pain and stiffness are the main ones. They are usually worse in the morning and get better throughout the day. If bony growths are pushing against a nerve root or the spinal cord, you may have numbness, tingling, weakness, or an aching, shooting pain in your buttock and leg.
