Spondylosis

Spondylosis is a general term for age-related degeneration of the spine, commonly affecting the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar regions. It involves the wear and tear of spinal discs, joints, and bones, often leading to disc herniation, bone spurs, and reduced disc height. These changes can cause stiffness, chronic back or neck pain, and in some cases, nerve compression leading to numbness, weakness, or radiating pain in the limbs.
