Spondylosis: Cause, Classification & Care Options Without Spine Surgery
The medical term Spondylosis is descriptive of degenerative disorder of the spine. Almost anyone can develop spondylosis (spondylotic changes, including bone spur) as they grow older. However, several predisposing risk factors increase the possibility of some individuals developing spondylotic changes.
The most common risk factors associated with this condition include obesity, poor posture, traumatic injury, and participation in high-impact sports, as well as genetic factors. Despite this, the natural aging process is still considered the primary risk factor for discomfort or symptoms. Visit our center for a thorough analysis of your spine. Our clinical teams are the spine and joint experts you need. Visit us today to assess your posture and spine.
With time, spinal soft tissues composed of cartilage, spinal discs, ligaments, muscles, and tendons deteriorate due to normal wear and tear. With degenerative spine changes, your risk factors for the development of spondylosis and bone spurs increase significantly.
Bone Spur, Osteophytes, Slipped Disc (Slip-Disc) & MRI Assessments
A bone spur is an overgrowth of bone or calcification of soft tissues, often referred to as osteophytes or osteoarthritis (OA). The spinal soft tissue components have a high water composition. Spondylosis leads to the dehydration of spinal soft tissue components such as spinal discs and cartilage. This dehydration increases the chance of exposed bones rubbing against each other, leading to discomfort. Discomfort resulting from wear and tear is often due to bone spurs in affected individuals.
Furthermore, deterioration of the spinal soft tissue can cause the tendons, muscles, and ligaments to become thicker and stiffer. Spinal degeneration in individuals above 40 years is observable on X-ray, MRI, and CT scans. However, to date, the recommended means of assessing the impact of spondylotic changes, osteophytes, slipped disc, and the bone spur is through the MRI (magnetic resonance imaging).
How Slipped Discs, Degenerations & Bone Spurs Impact Spinal Segment
The spine is made up of 33 vertebrae. The coming together of the first 24 vertebrae (spinal bones) forms the three (3) spine regions, which are lumbar (lower back), thoracic (mid-back), and cervical (neck). The remaining nine segments form the coccygeal and sacral regions of the spine. Therefore, the most common areas of the spine that are affected by spondylosis are the lumbar (lower back), thoracic (mid-back), and cervical (neck). With this, spondylosis classification is by location.
As mentioned, spondylosis is the term that refers to conditions that lead to spinal joint arthritis (bone spurs or facet hypertrophy), thickening of ligamentum flavum (ligamentum flavum hypertrophy), and varying degrees of slipped discs. Regardless of the cause, conservative care should be your first and only option. Spine surgery is an option recommended to be avoided or reserved as the last option. CSC has a success rate of over 95% in the care of pateints with spondylosis. Therefore, opt for our corrective care before you consider surgery or injections. But, again, surgery should be the last option!
What Are The Typical Signs & Symptoms Of Spondylosis?
Spondylosis is a group of conditions that impacts the spine. It is a general term used to describe multiple issues involving muscles, ligaments, spinal joints, and spinal discs. In short, it is a condition that results from wear and tear. Symptoms can vary from person to person, depending on severity and tolerance. Some may be fully asymptomatic (no discomfort at all), while others suffer needlessly. The most common symptoms of spondylosis include:
Fatigue
General unwell feeling
Restricted motion or lack of mobility
Stiffness in the neck, upper back, or low back
Discomfort in the neck, upper back, low back, and buttocks
Ice the affected area for 10 minutes (wrap the ice pack in a towel)
If these measures fail you need focused corrective carer from our experts and modern spine technology.
What Is The Recommended Care For Spinal?
As mentioned in earlier sections, spondylosis is a condition that results from a combination of issues. They include spinal disc degeneration, bone spurs, and even slipped disc or slip disc. However, spondylosis care is not similar to the typical neck and back discomfort care you would get. Instead, it is far more precise, or at least it should be!
Precision is essential! Precision occurs when all aspects of spondylosis are treated concurrently. In other words, you will have to get care for the muscles, ligaments, joints, spinal discs, and spinal nerves for the spondylosis care to last. In some way, spondylosis care is similar to the care provided for a slip-disc.
Chiropractic Specialty Center® provides the reliable slip-disc and spinal care in Malaysia. Our slipped disc (slip-disc) care targets spinal ligaments, muscles, joints, discs, and nerves. Spondylosis and slip-disc care are nearly identical. As such, we have provided a video of our slip-disc care to familiarize you with some of the therapies we will recommend. However, keep in mind that you may require additional procedures if your condition warrants them.
In The Lumbar Spine Spondylosis (Slipped Discs, Bone Spurs & Spinal Degenerations) Are The Leading Cause Of Discomfort & Disability
Lumbar spondylosis affects the lumbar vertebrae (L1-L5). The lumbar or the low back is the second most common location for spondylosis. The most common symptoms include low back discomfort, discomfort in the buttocks, hips, thighs, legs, and ankle. Also, it can lead to numbness, tingling, weakness, and paralysis of one or both legs. The longer your condition goes untreated, the more risks you take. Progression is a certainty! As such, the need for efficient measures that correct, fix, and repairs the root causes as early as possible.
Visit our center for the reliable non-surgical slipped disc care in Malaysia today. Our methods of care are through specialized back discomfort exercises, integrated chiropractic care, and clinical physiotherapy. As a result, we can help even severely degenerated discs or herniated spinal discs.
Spondylosis In The Thoracic Or Upper Back Discomfort
Thoracic spondylosis affects the thoracic vertebrae (T1-T12). It is the least common site. However, the mid-back (mid-thoracic spine) is a common site of diagnosis for spondylosis. Symptoms of thoracic spondylosis include discomfort in the upper and mid-back. Also, some will experience discomfort that runs between the ribs. Sufferers may also complain of a burning sensation in between the shoulder balds or the mid-back. Moreover, it may cause indigestion, heartburn, and other gastrointestinal disorder such as a Hiatal hernia.
Cervical Or The Neck Is Common Site For Spondylosis
Cervical spondylosis is, by far, the most common type of spondylosis diagnosed. Spondylosis in the neck can affect one or more of the seven vertebrae (C1-C7). The most common segment for spondylosis in the neck is at the C5-C6 segment of C6-C7. Cervical spondylosis symptoms include neck discomfort, headaches, migraines, tinnitus, vertigo, back discomfort, shoulder discomfort, and arm discomfort. Importantly, it is the leading cause of tingling, numbness, and weakness in the shoulder, arms, elbows, wrists, and hands.
If you have cervical spondylosis, seek our help immediately! Our integrated methods and breakthrough spine technology have helped thousands without the need for injections or surgery.
The cervical spine (the neck) has a tremendous range of motion and mobility. These factors and the fact that it bears the head’s weight predispose the neck to spondylosis at greater levels than the spine’s lumbar (lower back) region. Additionally, our modern gadgets and handheld electronic devices are the main culprits for increased risk factors in developing this degenerative condition in the neck. CSC’s neck discomfort care and neck discomfort exercise programs are enriched with care provided by integrated spine technology. Chiropractic Specialty Center® succeeds even if others have failed to get you better.
Spondylosis should not be confused with spondylitis. While spondylosis refers to degenerative changes resulting from arthritis and spinal disc issues, spondylitis is descriptive of an inflammatory type of arthritic changes, such as ankylosing spondylitis.
Common Locations For Spondylosis
Spondylosis can occur at any segment. However, the most common site for spondylosis is the cervical and lumbar spine (neck & back). In the neck, the C5-C6 is the most common site for spondylosis, and the L4-L5 is the most common spondylosis in the lower back. The three most common areas of spondylosis in the neck are:
Symptoms Of Spondylosis & Degenerative Disc Disease
Patients suffering from this degenerative spine disorder do not always experience symptoms. Some patients may never experience symptoms up until they are involved in a traumatic incident. This means that spondylosis patients may not experience discomfort, numbness in the arms, legs, hands, or feet.
Typically, the symptomatic patient may complain of a lot of symptoms. For example, some may complain of discomfort, numbness, tingling sensations, and muscle weakness. However, the symptoms most arise when the disorder causes an anatomical deformity in the spinal joint, leading to impingement and irritation of the spinal cord (canal stenosis) or spinal nerves. Often, the irritating cause is a bone spur, ligament calcification, bulging disc, or herniated discs (slip-disc or slipped disc) that compress spinal nerve roots as well as the spinal cord itself.
Apart from the symptoms mentioned above, other symptoms associated with this condition include stiffness, inflammation, back discomfort, neck discomfort, and a decreased range of motion.
What Are Some Of The Care Options For The Spine In Malaysia
Conventional Western medicine dictates that patients with spondylosis need care through medications, injections, and surgery. However, discomfort medication and surgery have failed to give patients the lasting comfort they need. Conservative care approaches must be explored, such as physical therapy (physiotherapy) and clinical chiropractic care.
Acupuncture has had some successes in reducing the discomfort, but it cannot fix the cause. Often, patients that receive acupuncture find themselves in discomfort. Therefore, we would recommend a course of care that addresses the real cause and not just the symptoms.
In other words, acupuncture, medications, and injections do not offer much help in the long haul. So visit our center today and get the recommended chiropractic care in Malaysia. Proven of all, the care you get in our center is a low-discomfort therapy that fixes the actual cause of spondylosis.
What Is The Recommended Care For Spondylosis & Spine In Malaysia?
The most suitable physical therapy care for the spine is the integrative chiropractic and physical therapy methods at our centers. We offer the reliable physical therapy and chiropractic care for spine, joints, and sports injuries in Malaysia. Invasive care options, such as surgery, are not recommended as they pose a greater risk to patients.
Accurate diagnosis and identification of the root causes are critical for patients’ successful care and speedy recovery. Therapy programs or care options that are not corrective will fail to produce the desired outcome. Some may improve a bit, but the discomfort often returns! Therefore, our advice is to seek neck discomfort clinicians and practices with experienced, knowledgeable clinical staff who understand all root causes and have the abilities and methodologies for targeted care methods.
Chiropractic and physiotherapy care are helpful if they are targeted the way we do at CSC. Additionally, those with bone spurs may want to avoid the traditional means of physiotherapy or chiropractic. Physiotherapists and chiropractors treat a host of the spine and joint conditions, but spondylosis requires specialized knowledge and ability. Above all, care must be taken not to aggravate or exacerbate a patient through aggressive care means.
To summarize, neck and upper back discomfort conditions that result from spondylosis need focused corrective care. As such, visit our center for the tailored neck and upper back discomfort sufferers may not be as efficient. An excellent example of aggressive care is the rotatory chiropractic adjustments or excessive manual therapy and range of motion exercises.

Spondylitis is a vertebral disease that commonly hits men between the age of 20 to 40. Humans are working like a robot, but its after-effects could be threatening for their health. Performing an MRI scan in this situation would be beneficial for the patient than other scanning methods. Many times we ignore the pain in the vertebra, then it leads to unrecoverable disease.
