Lumbar Spondylosis

Lumbar spondylosis is a degenerative condition affecting the lower spine, commonly seen in older adults. It causes back pain, stiffness, and sometimes nerve compression symptoms like leg pain or numbness. Early intervention can prevent chronic disability.

Causes of Lumbar Spondylosis:

1. Age-related disc and joint degeneration
2. Repetitive spinal strain or poor posture
3. Sedentary lifestyle or occupational stress

Symptoms of Lumbar Spondylosis:

1. Chronic lower back pain
2. Morning stiffness and limited bending
3. Pain radiating to legs (in advanced cases)

Treatment and Rehabilitation:

- 1. Electrotherapy (IFT, TENS):

Helps reduce pain and relax muscles using therapeutic electrical currents.

- 2. Laser Therapy:

Promotes healing and reduces inflammation in affected tissues.

- 3. Robotic Spinal Decompression:

Non-invasive spinal traction technique that relieves disc pressure.

- 4. Lower Back Exercises (Graded Loading):

Targets core and back muscles using controlled progression to restore strength.

- - 5. Modification of Aggravating Factors:

Focuses on posture, lifting habits, and work ergonomics to prevent flare-ups.

6. Lifestyle Advice:

Encourages physical activity, core strengthening, and weight management.
