Cervical and lumbar spondylitis are degenerative conditions affecting the spine, specifically the neck (cervical spine) and lower back (lumbar spine). These conditions involve wear and tear of the spinal discs, joints, or vertebrae, often leading to inflammation, stiffness, and nerve compression. They are commonly caused by aging, poor posture, repetitive strain, or injury, and can lead to chronic pain and limited mobility if not treated properly.
Who Needs Treatment?
Patients who experience:
- Persistent neck or lower back pain.
- Pain radiating to the arms (cervical) or legs (lumbar).
- Headaches originating from the neck.
- Muscle spasms or difficulty walking.
- Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the limbs.
Types of Conditions Treated
- Cervical Disc Degeneration: Age-related wear of neck discs causing pain and stiffness.
- Cervical Myelopathy: Spinal cord compression causing coordination problems, especially in the hands and legs.
- Lumbar Radiculopathy (Sciatica): Nerve compression causing pain that radiates down the legs.
- Mechanical Lower Back Pain: Often due to muscular strain or poor ergonomics.
- Postural Neck Pain: Due to long hours of desk work or improper posture.
