Spondylosis Symptoms
Spondylosis can affect different regions of the spine — cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), or lumbar (lower back). Depending on the area involved, symptoms may vary:
Cervical (Neck) Spondylosis
- ✔ Persistent neck pain that may radiate to the shoulders or arms
- ✔ Weakness or numbness in the arm, wrist, or hand due to nerve compression
- ✔ Difficulty swallowing in rare cases, caused by bone spurs pressing on the esophagus
Thoracic (Mid-Back) Spondylosis
- ✔ Pain or stiffness in the mid-back, often worsening when bending forward or overextending
Lumbar (Lower Back) Spondylosis
- ✔ Chronic lower back pain with reduced flexibility
- ✔ Pain radiating to hips, buttocks, or legs
- ✔ Muscle weakness, spasms, or tingling sensations in the legs
Spondylosis Causes
Spondylosis usually develops gradually over time. The main contributing factors include:
- ✔ Age-related degeneration – Natural wear and tear reduces water content in spinal discs, making them prone to shrinkage, herniation, or bulging.
- ✔ Repetitive strain & overuse – Regular bending, lifting, or poor posture leads to chronic stress on spinal joints and muscles.
- ✔ Trauma or injury – Accidents or falls can damage spinal structures, triggering inflammation and long-term degeneration.
- ✔ Genetic predisposition – Family history of spine disorders may increase susceptibility.
Spondylosis Diagnosis
Diagnosis starts with a review of medical history and a physical examination to assess flexibility, reflexes, and nerve function. Depending on symptoms, the doctor may recommend:
- ✔ X-rays – to detect bone spurs and spinal alignment changes
- ✔ MRI or CT scans – for detailed imaging of discs, nerves, and soft tissues
- ✔ Motion X-rays – taken while bending forward/backward to evaluate stability
