DEFINITION
Spondylosis is a type of arthritis spurred by wear and tear to the spine. It happens when discs and joints degenerate, when bone spurs grow on the vertebrae, or both. These changes can impair the spine’s movement and affect the nerves and other functions.
CAUSES
As a person ages, the discs become drier, thinner, and harder, and they lose some of their cushioning ability. This is why an older person is more likely to have a compression fracture of the vertebra than a younger person.A vertebral compression fracture results from bone collapsing in the spine. It commonly occurs with osteoporosis.The facet joints between the vertebrae also function less well with age because of wear and tear on their cartilage surfaces.
SYMPTOMS
More severe symptoms include:
- a grinding or popping feeling when moving the spine
