What is spondylosis?
Degeneration and deformity of the joints of the spine occurring with age. There is formation of bony spurs (osteophytes) and disc bulges. When the space between two adjacent vertebrae narrows there is compression of the nerve root giving rise to arm or leg pain (radiculopathy). The commonest are Cervical (neck) and Lumbar (low back) Spondylosis.
