Cervical & Lumber Spondylosis

Cervical and lumbar spondylosis are common age-related conditions that affect the neck and lower back. These conditions can cause discomfort, stiffness, and even nerve-related issues, impacting your daily life. At NEUMED Clinics, we provide specialized care to manage and treat cervical and lumbar spondylosis, helping you regain mobility and live pain-free.

What Is Spondylosis?

Spondylosis refers to the degeneration of the spine’s discs, joints, and bones due to wear and tear, often caused by aging. It can occur in the cervical spine (neck) or the lumbar spine (lower back).

Cervical Spondylosis

This affects the neck area and may cause:

• Chronic neck pain or stiffness.
• Pain radiating to the shoulders, arms, or hands.
• Numbness or tingling in the fingers.
• Headaches originating from the neck.

Lumbar Spondylosis

This affects the lower back and may lead to:

• Lower back pain and stiffness.
• Pain radiating to the hips, thighs, or legs.
• Weakness or numbness in the legs.
• Difficulty walking or standing for long periods.

Causes and Risk Factors

• Aging: Natural degeneration of spinal discs and joints.
• Injury: Previous spinal injuries can accelerate wear and tear.
• Poor Posture: Prolonged sitting or slouching adds stress to the spine.
• Repetitive Strain: Frequent lifting or twisting motions.
• Genetics: A family history of spondylosis increases your risk.

Advanced Diagnosis

At NEUMED Clinics, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to accurately identify the extent and cause of spondylosis:

• X-rays and MRI scans to detect disc degeneration and nerve compression.
• Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) to evaluate nerve function.
• Comprehensive physical exams to assess mobility and pain triggers.

Personalized Treatment Options

Our multidisciplinary team tailors a treatment plan to address your unique condition, combining evidence-based practices and advanced interventions.

Non-Surgical Treatments

• Physiotherapy

  • Exercises to strengthen the spine and improve posture.
  • Techniques like traction or ultrasound for pain relief.

• Medications

  • Anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce pain and swelling.
  • Muscle relaxants for relief from stiffness.

• Injections

  • Epidural Steroid Injections: To reduce nerve inflammation.
  • Botox Injections: For chronic muscle tension.

• Lifestyle Modifications

  • Guidance on ergonomic work setups.
  • Weight management to minimize spinal stress.

Surgical Intervention

In severe cases, minimally invasive procedures may be required to decompress nerves or stabilize the spine.
