Spondylosis (spine arthritis) is one of the most common causes of spine pain and stiffness once you are aged over fifty. Spondylosis is further categorized depending on the region of the spine that it is present.
- Cervical Spondylosis
- Thoracic Spondylosis
- Lumbar Spondylosis
Everyday "wear and tear" damages your spinal joints. In advanced stages, spinal arthritis can be painful and deteriorate into other conditions when the nerves become pinched (eg sciatica).
Unfortunately, there is no cure. But the good news is that there are numerous ways making your life easier via the correct management of the condition.
Physiotherapy is a very important part of making your life less painful, more functional and very enjoyable. It should also slow down the speed with which your spondylosis deteriorates.
