Spondylosis Treatment
Understanding Spondylosis
Spondylosis is a common condition characterized by degenerative changes in the spine, resulting in pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. At the Pain Clinic of Northwest Florida, we specialize in providing comprehensive treatment options to alleviate spondylosis and help you regain comfort and improved quality of life.
Causes of Spondylosis:
- Age-related Degeneration: As we age, the spinal structures, including the discs, joints, and ligaments, naturally deteriorate. This degeneration can lead to the development of spondylosis.
- Herniated Discs: When the soft cushioning discs between the vertebrae herniate or bulge, they can contribute to spondylosis.
- Spinal Injuries: Traumatic events or injuries to the spine can result in spondylosis.
- Genetic Factors: In some cases, individuals may inherit a predisposition to spondylosis, making them more prone to developing symptoms later in life.
Symptoms of Spondylosis:
- Chronic Back or Neck Pain: Pain in the affected area of the spine is a common symptom of spondylosis. The pain may be dull, sharp, or radiate to other parts of the body.
- Stiffness and Reduced Mobility: Spondylosis can cause stiffness and limited range of motion in the spine, making it difficult to perform daily activities.
- Nerve Impingement: Spondylosis can lead to compression of the spinal nerves, resulting in numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms, legs, hands, or feet.
- Headaches: In some cases, spondylosis in the neck region can cause recurring headaches.
Effective Spondylosis Treatments:
- Medication Management: Our pain management specialists can prescribe medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), muscle relaxants, or analgesics to manage pain and inflammation associated with spondylosis.
- Physical Therapy: Our skilled physical therapists can develop a customized exercise program to improve strength, flexibility, and mobility, and help alleviate pain and improve functional abilities.
- Spinal Injections: Injections of corticosteroids or other medications into the affected area of the spine can help reduce inflammation and provide temporary relief from pain.
- Minimally Invasive Procedures: In some cases, minimally invasive procedures such as radiofrequency ablation or spinal decompression may be recommended to alleviate pain and restore mobility.
- Surgical Interventions: For severe cases of spondylosis, surgical interventions such as spinal fusion or artificial disc replacement may be considered to stabilize the spine and alleviate symptoms.
