Lumbar spondylosis is the umbrella term for age-related degenerative changes in the lower spine, including disc height loss, bone spur formation, facet joint arthritis, and ligament thickening. It is one of the most common spine conditions in adults and becomes increasingly prevalent after the age of 40. Symptoms range from dull lower back ache and morning stiffness to leg pain, numbness, and walking difficulty when nerves are compressed. For the majority of patients, a structured programme of physiotherapy, activity modification, and medication controls symptoms effectively without surgery. Injection therapies offer a middle path for those with persistent nerve pain, while surgery is reserved for patients with significant nerve compression, spinal instability, or neurological decline that has not responded to conservative care.
A structured non-surgical programme combining physiotherapy, pain medications, and lifestyle adjustments — the recommended starting point for most patients with lumbar spondylosis.
