Lumbar Spondylosis refers to the degeneration of the lumbar spine, typically due to aging, wear and tear, or other underlying factors. This condition can cause pain, stiffness, and limited mobility in the lower back. At Dr. Waseem Physio Clinic, we provide expert diagnosis and personalized treatment plans to help you manage symptoms and regain mobility.
What Is Lumbar Spondylosis?
Lumbar Spondylosis is a form of osteoarthritis affecting the vertebrae, intervertebral discs, and ligaments in the lower back. The degeneration of these structures can lead to compression of nerves, reduced flexibility, and chronic pain.
Common Causes of Lumbar Spondylosis
- Aging: Natural wear and tear on spinal components over time.
- Repetitive Stress: Activities that put continuous strain on the lower back.
- Obesity: Excess weight placing added pressure on the lumbar spine.
- Injury: Trauma or accidents affecting the lower back.
- Genetics: A family history of osteoarthritis or spinal disorders.
- Sedentary Lifestyle: Weak muscles and poor posture leading to spinal issues.
Symptoms of Lumbar Spondylosis
- Persistent or intermittent lower back pain.
- Stiffness in the lower back, especially in the morning or after prolonged rest.
- Reduced flexibility and range of motion.
- Pain that radiates to the hips, buttocks, or legs.
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the legs due to nerve compression.
- Difficulty standing or sitting for extended periods.
