Lumbar Spondylosis

By Ravin Thursday, April 10, 2008

Signs and Symptoms of Lumbar Spondylosis: Lumbar spondylosis reduces the ability of the involved segment to go through its normal range of motion. Back pain and back stiffness are common. Compression of the nerves within the spinal canal or the nerves exiting the spinal canal can lead to pain, numbness or weakness in the legs, buttock or bowel and bladder. Abnormalities of gait can occur. Occasionally, these degenerative changes can produce instability of the spine. Alterations in the alignment of the spinal segments, or spondylolisthesis, can lead to deformity of the spine and further pain and neurological symptoms.
