Spondylotic Disease Lumbar - World Sports

Lumbar spondylosis is a progeressive degenerative condition that affects the intervertebral discs, vertebral bodies, and associated joints of the lumbar spine [1] [2]. It is described as an age-related degeneration of the lumbar vertebrae. Spondylosis, or osteoarthritis of the spine, results from years of normal wear and tear on the bones and tissues that make up the spine.

Although it can affect any part of the spine, the condition is seen most in the uppermost and lowermost sections — the cervical (neck) and lumbar (low-back) spine.
