LUMBAR SPONDYLOSIS: CAUSES, SYMPTOMS AND EFFECTIVE TREATMENT
Lumbar spondylosis is a degenerative condition of the lower spine caused by progressive wear and tear of the intervertebral discs and joints. It occurs with advancing age, but can be accelerated by factors such as incorrect posture, strenuous physical exertion or a sedentary lifestyle.
As the discs lose their flexibility and cushioning capacity, the vertebrae can come into direct contact, causing pain, stiffness and even spinal nerve compression. In some cases, lumbar spondylosis can lead to sciatica or other neurological problems, affecting mobility and quality of life.
Early identification of symptoms and appropriate treatment, such as physiotherapy and exercise therapy, can prevent complications and greatly improve patients’ condition.
CAUZE
Lumbar spondylosis occurs due to the natural ageing process of the spine, but can be influenced by several factors that accelerate the degeneration of intervertebral discs and joints.
Main causes:
✔️ Natural ageing – As we age, intervertebral discs lose water and elasticity and become less able to absorb shock, leading to vertebral wear and tear.
✔️ Incorrect posture – Prolonged sitting, working at a desk without adequate lumbar support or awkward postures can put excessive strain on the lumbar spine, accelerating degeneration.
✔️ Being sedentary – Lack of movement reduces spinal flexibility and weakens supporting muscles, increasing the risk of overuse and damage to lumbar discs.
✔️ Overuse of the spine – Activities involving heavy lifting, repetitive movements or strenuous physical exertion can contribute to disc damage and osteophytes (bone spurs).
✔️ Trauma or accidents – Blows, falls or other traumas can cause spinal injuries, which over time can lead to lumbar spondylosis.
✔️ Obesity – Excess weight puts extra pressure on the lumbar vertebrae, accelerating disc wear and tear and promoting chronic pain.
✔️ Genetic predisposition – Some people have a genetic make-up that makes them more susceptible to degenerative spinal conditions.
✔️ Occupational factors – Jobs that involve prolonged standing, long-distance driving or repetitive weight handling can contribute to wear and tear on the lumbar spine.
How Can You Reduce Your Risk?
Maintaining the correct posture, adopting an active lifestyle and avoiding overstraining the spine can help prevent lumbar spondylosis. If you are already experiencing symptoms, it is essential to consult a specialist for an appropriate treatment plan.
SIMPTOME
Lumbar spondylosis develops gradually, and symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe pain that affects daily activities.
Common symptoms:
✔️ Chronic low back pain – Dull or sharp pain that may be persistent or intermittent. Usually worsens after long periods of standing or sitting.
✔️ Back stiffness – Reduced mobility and stiffness, especially in the morning or after long periods of inactivity.
✔️ Pain radiating to the buttocks or legs – In advanced cases, nerve compression can lead to sciatica or other lower limb discomfort.
✔️ Numbness or tingling in the legs – A sign of nerve root damage in the lumbar spine.
✔️ Muscle weakness – Difficulty lifting objects, walking long distances or maintaining balance due to nerve damage.
✔️ Reduced flexibility – Difficulty bending, twisting or performing everyday movements due to spinal degeneration.
Symptoms can worsen with age, physical exertion or incorrect posture. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help manage pain and prevent complications.
TREATMENT
Treatment of lumbar spondylosis at Medicine Park Clinic is designed to relieve pain, improve mobility and prevent progression of the condition. Our integrated approach combines various therapies to provide optimal results for each patient.
1. Physiotherapy
Kinetotherapy focuses on personalized exercises designed to strengthen back muscles and improve spinal flexibility. Our program includes:
- Stretching and mobilization exercises: to reduce stiffness and increase range of motion.
- Muscle strengthening exercises: targeting the paravertebral and abdominal muscles to properly support the spine.

Physiotherapy uses physical agents to reduce inflammation and pain. At Medicine Park, we offer:
- Electrotherapy: using low and medium frequency currents to relieve pain and relax muscles.
- Laser therapy: to speed up the healing process and reduce inflammation.
- Therapeutic ultrasound: to penetrate deep tissues and relieve pain.
3. Manual Therapy
Manual therapy involves hands-on techniques to mobilize joints and relax tense muscles. Our specialists apply:
- Spinal manipulation: to correct spinal alignment and reduce nerve compression.
- Joint mobilizations: to improve functionality and reduce pain.
4. Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a holistic approach aimed at restoring the body’s structural balance. Through specific techniques, our osteopaths:
- Assess and treat musculoskeletal dysfunctions: to relieve pain and improve mobility.
- Apply myofascial release techniques: to reduce tension and facilitate blood circulation.
5. Chiropractic
Chiropractic focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical dysfunctions of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. At our clinic, chiropractors:
- Perform spinal adjustments: to correct subluxations and restore normal nerve function.
- Provides postural and ergonomic advice: to prevent recurrence of symptoms.
6. Sports Medicine
For active or athletic patients, sports medicine offers:
