LUMBAR SPONDYLOSIS

 What is Lumbar Spondylosis Disease?

Lumbar Spondylosis is a type of spondylosis disease. This is a medical term used for the degenerative joint disease that affect the part of the back between the ribs and the hipbones




Who is most vulnerable to the disease?

Spondylosis is an age related change of the bones so a person’s age is the common cause of this disease but not the only cause.

Young people are not susceptible to this disease because they have enough power that keeps their vertebrae damp and flexible, they can sit and stand erect.

With the growing age, the bones and connective tissues of the spine become weaker. About 80 percent old people have been found indulged in spondylosis.

Lumbar Spondylosis symptoms generally appear in those people who are used to work excessively on the computer, drive vehicle, farmers who work hard in the sunshine and mostly in the old age people.

Symptoms of Lumbar Spondylosis?

There are often no symptoms, but when they are, these include severe pain in the neck, arms, shoulders and limbs, powerlessness of muscles and abnormal skin sensations called Paresthesia.

In its extreme condition, it can compress the nerves and influences on the structure of the spine, thus causing disorders in motor fibers.

The symptoms are usually worse in the morning and get better throughout the day.

 

Diagnosis

Spondylosis diagnosis is done using radiology checkup including x-ray, CT scan and MRI scans that is very helpful in checking the back disc problems in detail.

Treatment and medication

As a treatment of Lumbar Spondylosis, physicians recommend physiotherapy (PT), chiropractic manipulative therapy (CMT), etc. and those who don't want to go through the surgical treatment should do exercise, massage, yoga, stylostixis, etc. regularly. Physiotherapy provides relief, helps in moving the affected parts of the body and makes the muscles strong. In the surgical treatment, the surgeon removes the affected areas of inter-vertebral disc.

As far as the medication of Lumbar Spondylosis is concerned, there is no medicine available presently to turn the degeneration process back. The patient can take the anti-inflammatory medicines and painkillers as suggested by the medical specialist.

Lumbar Spondylosis can disappear for some days, but can, again, appear after some weeks. Bed rest for a long time cannot be as much effective in this disease instead you should carry on the regular activities, just avoid from activities that aggravate the problem, e.g. lifting burden, climbing stairs, etc. The use of ice and heat on the affected areas and special supportive pillows is also very common in people who suffer from lumbar spondylosis.

Prevention Measures

There are no hard and fast lumbar spondylosis preventions, however, take extra care of yourself in the following ways, i.e.

·         Be sure that the diet you are having is a balanced diet and contains nutrients that are necessary to make the muscles and bones strong. 

·         If your work is in front of the PC, notice the sitting position of yours, it should not be over-bent. 

·         In the same way, when you stand, standing position should be straight. 

·         Be careful that you are not lifting heavy objects, if necessary, be in the erect position.

·         Out of your busy routine, extract some time for regular exercise and yoga, if possible.

 

Although Lumbar Spondylosis doesn't lead to death, but it affects the stability of joint and rear parts of the body and is not a completely recoverable disease. So the precautionary treatments and remedies for its prevention are advised to get rid of this constant pain.

 

Association of Obesity/Weight gain to spinal diseases

 

Obesity has been strongly linked to changes that damage the spine and contribute to a range of spinal diseases like lumbar spondylosis.

Obesity has been associated with lumbar disc degeneration leading to lower back pain, sciatica, and lumbar spinal stenosis.

Added body weight brings the spine into an altered and unhealthy shape. As body weight increases, the pelvis tilts, and the spines natural curvature changes. Weight creates an in the typical three-curve system, which leads to spine alignment issues and a chance for pressure-related back problems

Being overweight/obese can significantly contribute to symptoms associated with a degenerative disc disease like lumbar spondylosis.
