Spondylosis

Spondylosis is a degenerative condition of the spine, often referred to as "spinal arthritis." It involves the gradual wear and tear of the spinal discs and vertebrae, leading to the formation of bone spurs and disc degeneration. Symptoms can include back pain, stiffness, and reduced flexibility, and in more severe cases, nerve compression can cause pain, numbness, or weakness in the limbs. Treatment typically focuses on managing symptoms through physical therapy, medications, and lifestyle modifications.
