Lumbar spondylosis is a degenerative Joint disease that is very common in the elderly. Lumbar spondylosis is due to aging and time-related wear and tear on the vertebrae (Bones) of the lower back. The deterioration due to lumbar spondylosis also affects the cartilage, a slippery substance that helps Bones to move easily, and the discs, which are pillow-like tissues between the vertebrae that cushion movement of the lower back.

Causes :

Age, sudden fall, accidents, past history of surgery, lifting heavy weights, due to wear and tear of Bones and severe arthritis.
