What is Lumbar spondylosis? Lumbar spondylosis can be defined as all of the degenerative conditions that affect the lumbar spine's discs, vertebral bodies, and associated joints. Characterized by osteophytes (bony growths on vertebrae), mostly found on their superior and inferior margins, mostly on their anterior and lateral aspects. The lumbar region is most affected, because of exposure to mechanical stress. Pain can be produced when osteophytes cause neural foraminal stenosis. Another symptom is joint stiffness, which limits mobility. Besides lower back pain, lumbar spondylosis patients may also experience neurologic claudication, including leg pain, tingling, and numbness. Risk factors for lumbar spondylosis are- Old age, Overweight, sedentary lifestyle, history of spinal injury or having spinal surgery, smoking.
