Spondylosis is a common age-related condition involving the degeneration of the spineโs joints, discs, and bones. Often referred to as spinal osteoarthritis, it results from gradual wear and tear that occurs as we age. The intervertebral discs lose moisture and flexibility, reducing their shock-absorbing capacity and increasing stress on the vertebrae. This can lead to bone spur formation or degenerative disc disease (DDD).
Spondylosis typically affects individuals over 60 and can impact various regions of the spine:

The primary cause of spondylosis is aging. Other contributing factors include:
. Repetitive neck movements or poor posture due to occupational strain
. Previous neck injuries
. Genetic predisposition
. Smoking and lifestyle factors
As cartilage deteriorates, bones in the joints may rub against each other, causing pain and limiting mobility. This breakdown is known as โwear-and-tearโ arthritis.
