One of the most common spondylosis causes is something that none of us can avoid: the natural aging process. The term spondylosis is used to broadly describe the variety of degenerative changes that occur in the spinal column as a result of years of wear and tear, but is most commonly associated with the development of osteoarthritis in the spinal canal. Yet, while we can�t avoid getting older, there are also a number of external risk factors that can exacerbated spinal deterioration and worsen spondylosis, which can usually be limited.
Generally speaking, some spinal deterioration is entirely normal and should be expected as individuals approach and surpass middle age. It is this spinal degeneration that accounts for the diminished flexibility and mobility that most people expect as being a normal part of getting older. As we age, the intervertebral discs that cushion the spine become worn and brittle, the joints that connect adjacent vertebrae become arthritic, muscles weaken, ligaments calcify, and other changes occur. However, when any of these degenerative changes advances to the point that the spinal cord or any of the nerve roots in the region become constricted or damaged, chronic � and potentially severe � symptoms can develop.
Spondylosis causes pain most often as a result of the deterioration of the facet joints in the spinal column. Normally, these joints provide a strong bond between adjacent vertebrae while also allowing the bones to comfortably articulate. However, when the cartilage that coats the bones wears away, bone-on-bone contact can occur, which will result in inflammation. It is this inflammation that can lead to joint stiffness, localized pain, and other similar symptoms.
Yet, while getting older is the single biggest contributing factor to the onset of spondylosis and other degenerative spine conditions, there are a number of outside factors that can advance the deterioration of the spinal anatomy, potentially leading to increased problems in the future. As a general rule of thumb, any activity that puts undue strain on the spinal column should be avoided or at least limited. For instance, participation in high impact sports puts a tremendous burden on the spine, can lead to injury, and tends to fast track future issues. People with lines of work that require frequent bending, lifting, or twisting are also at high risk for future back and neck problems and would do well to practice proper lifting techniques, frequently stretch, break often, and take proper precautions throughout the day.
Other spondylosis causes that you should be on the lookout for are related more closely to lifestyle choices. For example, obese individuals tend to be more at risk for spine problems because the burden of supporting additional body weight is extremely hard on the spine. Similarly, individuals with a sedentary lifestyle are also at risk for issues because the muscles that support the back and neck tend to atrophy without regular use.
So, while many spondylosis causes can�t be avoided entirely, by enjoying a healthy lifestyle and taking proper precautions, there are ways to reduce the likelihood that you�ll develop severe back or neck problems later in life.
