Effective Spondylosis Treatment Options
What is Spondylosis?
Spondylosis is a prevalent degenerative condition that affects the spine, primarily involving the gradual deterioration of the vertebral discs and facet joints. Over time, the normal wear and tear on these structures can lead to various symptoms, including pain, stiffness, and a decrease in mobility.
The changes associated with spondylosis, such as disc degeneration, bone spurs, and inflammation, can contribute to discomfort and limitations in daily activities. At our facility, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of spondylosis, utilizing our expertise to provide comprehensive care tailored to meet your specific needs.
