Lumbar spondylitis
Lumbar Spondylitis (also known as lumbar spondylosis) is a degenerative condition affecting the lower back (lumbar spine). It is caused by wear and tear on the discs, joints, and bones of the spine, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Here’s a detailed overview:
Causes of Lumbar Spondylitis
- Aging: Natural degeneration of the spinal discs and vertebrae.
- Poor Posture: Chronic slouching or improper sitting and standing habits.
- Repetitive Stress: Physical activities or occupations involving heavy lifting or bending.
- Obesity: Excess weight puts additional stress on the lower back.
- Injuries: Prior lower back injuries may accelerate degeneration.
- Herniated Discs: Bulging or ruptured discs that press on nerves.
- Genetics: Family history may increase susceptibility.
