SPONDYLOSIS

Getting Older Shouldn’t Be a Pain

Spondylosis

Spinal Disorders – Spondylosis

Degeneration of the spine, or spondylosis, is a common issue and one for which people seek a consultation with an expert spine surgeon in Westchester.

Spondylosis is simply degeneration of the spine. It is most often used to describe the effects of osteoarthritis in the spine, but can also describe spinal degeneration from other causes. It can occur anywhere along the spine from the top of the neck all the way into the pelvis.

What is Spondylosis?

The word “spondylosis” comes directly from Latin and literally translates as “spine problem”. It is a degenerative disorder, and is directly related to the natural ageing process. The spinal bones and joints wear out and don’t work as well. It can arise from degeneration causing narrowing of the spinal canal (stenosis); facet joint arthritis; bone spurs; or degenerative disc disease. Other factors include genetics, abnormal spinal movement, a prior injury, and certain lifestyle factors including tobacco smoking.

Ageing is an individual process, and some people notice the effects much earlier than others. It usually affects people aged over forty years, but can occur earlier; men are generally affected earlier than women.

Symptoms of spondylosis may be mild to disabling, and depend on which region of the spine is affected. They may include:

Pain that comes and goes

Neck stiffness upon waking

Headache in the back of the head

Arm pain or tingling

Joint pain

Sciatica

Leg weakness

Spondylosis

Spondylosis is often easily diagnosed with x-ray imaging. Initial treatment approaches include physical therapy, losing weight, rest, gentle exercise, medications, soft tissue massage, and heat packs.

How Can Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Help YOU?

If medical approaches to spondylosis symptom relief don’t work, minimally invasive spine surgery is an option for spondylosis treatment in Westchester. It can be performed to remove bone spurs, increase the size of the spinal canal, and repair damaged discs.
