spondylosis - degenerative changes in spinal vertebrae
Definition for spondylosis
Spondylosis is the degeneration of the vertebral processes and formation of osteophytes. It commonly occurs with aging.
more
Spondylosis is the degeneration of the vertebral processes and formation of osteophytes. It commonly occurs with aging. Often there is herniation of the nucleus pulposus. Compression of the nerve roots is accompanied with sensory system and motor system disturbances and pain.
Spondylosis is a deformity of the joint of two vertebrae where the space between the two adjacent vertebrae narrows and starts pressing upon the nerves emerging from the spinal cord. As a result, symptoms such as severe pain in the neck, shoulder and upperlimbs etc. may be felt. Less commonly, direct pressure on the spinal cord may result in global weakness, gait dysfunction, loss of balance, and loss of bowel and/or bladder control. Often the vertebrae of the neck are involved in which case it is labelled as Cervical Spondylosis.
