Spondylosis is a degenerative condition characterized by the wear and tear of the spinal discs and joints, often leading to chronic back pain. Symptoms include stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility in the spine. The primary cause is the natural aging process, which results in the drying out of spinal discs and the stiffening of ligaments. Other contributing factors include repetitive strain, poor posture, and previous spinal injuries. Treatment options range from conservative approaches like physical therapy, pain management, and lifestyle modifications to more invasive procedures such as surgery in severe cases. Early intervention can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
