Lumbar Spondylosis is commonly recognized as Spine Arthritis. This degenerative condition affects the lumbar spine (intervertebral disc, facet joints, sacroiliac joint, nerves, and muscles around lumbar vertebrae) and varies in severity among the patients experiencing mild discomfort to debilitating back pain and stiffness. Lumbar Spondylosis limits the range of motion in the back region. Several other joints like ribs, shoulders, or hips can be affected by it. Generally, this problem is faced by adults (aged 45-64 years) but can also develop in children and teenagers. 

Age-related degeneration, genetic predisposition, and physical stress in the lumbar spine are some of the complex mechanisms contributing to lumbar spondylosis pathophysiology. This complication results in pain and stiffness in the lower back, loss of spinal stability, numbness and tingling in nevers, weight loss, low appetite, fatigue, and diarrhoea, significantly affecting the individual’s functional balance and overall quality of life.

In most severe cases surgery is suggested. Ayurvedic treatment of lumbar spondylosis is an effective measure to discard surgery and treat the issue. This holistic approach is practiced with herbal medication along with several changes in daily life. Read the article to learn everything about lumbar spondylosis and several methods to manage it.
