LUMBAR SPONDYLOSIS

What is lumbar spondylosis?

Spondylosis may be applied non-specifically to any and all degenerative conditions affecting the disks, vertebral bodies, and/or associated joints of the lumbar spine. Low back pain (LBP) affects approximately 60–85% of adults during some point in their lives. 

Even in healthy individuals, the cartilage (discs), joints, and bones in the lower back slowly deteriorate over the years due to normal wear and tear on the body. This age-related condition is called lumbar spondylosis.

Lumbar spondylosis is an age-related degeneration of the vertebrae and disks of the lower back. These changes are often called degenerative disk disease and osteoarthritis. 

Causes

Spondylosis most often affects disks in the lumbar region. When disks herniate, the protruding disk can press against any of the spinal nerves that run from the spinal cord to the rest of the body. Herniated disks can cause nerve pain known as sciatica, which travels along the sciatic nerve running from the lower back down the length of each leg.

As a disk degenerates, bone spurs may form at the edges of the vertebrae. Bone spurs may also compress the spinal nerves, leading to weakness or numbness in the arms or legs. If bone spurs compress the spinal cord, you may develop problems with walking and bladder and bowel control. Over time, a degenerating disc may break down completely, leaving no space between two vertebrae, which can result in impaired movement, pain, and nerve damage. The pressure can cause pain, weakness, and numbness in the back and the legs. 

Symptoms

As with most spinal problems, lumbar spondylosis causes back pain and stiffness. It also may cause:

• Muscle spasms in your lower back

• Grinding or popping sensations when you sit or stand up

• Numbness in the lower back and feet, and toes

• Pain in the buttocks

• Sciatica (leg pain.)

In rare cases, lumbar spondylosis results in:

• loss of bladder or bowel control
