Spondylosis is a general term used by doctors to refer to degeneration of the spine. The term itself is derived from the Latin spondy, meaning spine; and losis, meaning problem. Many – but not all – doctors use the term to refer specifically to arthritis of the spine, or spinal osteoarthritis, which affects the joints between vertebrae. However, spondylosis also can refer to degenerative conditions affecting other parts of the spinal anatomy, including the intervertebral discs (degenerative disc disease), ligaments, and other tissue.
These symptoms normally can be managed using conservative treatment, such as pain medication or physical therapy.
