Arthritis in the Spine

Arthritis in the Spine Arthritis in the spine is a normal part of aging for many people. This condition goes by many names, including Osteoarthritis, Spondylosis, Spinal Arthritis and Degenerative Joint Disease. Arthritis is a contributing factor in many differnet back pain syndromes. The arthritic process are also the primary cause of facet joint syndrome.

Spinal Arthritis Facts

Arthritis in the spine is caused by a breakdown of protective measures in the spinal joints. A normal, healthy vertebral joint moves smoothly and effortlessly. As we age, the cartilage surrounding the joint starts to erode. The lubricating fluid in the joint leaks, and becomes less effective. The joint starts to feel rough, as bone surfaces contact each other directly. This bone to bone contact causes the growth of bone spurs (osteophytes) in the spinal joints. These bone spurs can cause pain from bone to bone friction, as well as potentially compressing a spinal nerve.

Recommendation for Arthritis in the Spine

This condition affects over 30 million people in the United States alone. It is normal !!! Most people do not suffer many or any symptoms. If you maintain your diet, weight, and general health, you should be fine. If you do end up having some painful arthritis symptoms in the back, don’t worry. Most of the symptoms can be controlled easily. The problem will only become very bad if you obsess over the condition. Spinal arthritis rarely exerts any control over a person without that person giving their permission. Do not be intimidated by arthritis! Accept aging and just think of it as a normal part of life…for that is what it is.
