What Is Spondylosis?

VSI is a national destination in advanced spine care, specializing in surgical and non-surgical treatment for Spondylosis.

As we age, our bodies undergo various changes, and the spine is no exception. Conditions like spondylosis, spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis are commonly heard medical terms related to the spine. While they sound similar, they each have specific characteristics and modes of treatment. Knowing what they mean is just the first step to finding healing. 

It’s important to get a correct diagnosis from the start so you can work with a spinal expert to create a customized treatment plan for your condition.

Spondylosis is also known as spinal osteoarthritis. As a degenerative spinal condition, it is most commonly caused by age and normal wear and tear.

Spondylolysis is a stress fracture that affects the lower part of the spine (lumbar) and is typically caused by overuse or trauma to their spine (like a car accident).
