Stages of Lumbar Spondylitis

Stage 1 : Dysfunction Phase

Describes the initial effects of repetitive microtrauma with the development of circumferential painful tears of the outer, innervated anulus, and associated end-plate separation that may compromise disk nutritional supply and waste removal.

Treatment Time : 3 Month

Sesssion Required : 15

Stage 2 : Instability Phase

Instability Phase is characterized by the loss of mechanical integrity, with progressive disk changes of resorption, internal disruption, and additional annular tears, combined with further facet degeneration that may induce subluxation and instability.

Treatment Time : 6 Month

Sesssion Required : 30

Stage 3 : Stabilization Phase

Stabilization Phase continued disk space narrowing and fibrosis occurs along with the formation of osteophytes and transdiscal bridging.

Treatment Time : 9 Month

Sesssion Required : 45

Lumbar Spondylitis Symptoms
  • The first symptom of lumbar spondylosis is pain in the lower part of the spine due to compression of the nerve roots from disc herniation and bone spurs.
  • Lower back pain caused by an intervertebral disc herniation is often worse after prolonged bending forward or sitting.
  • Back pain caused by facet joint osteoarthritis is usually worse when standing and may be relieved by sitting or bending forward.
  • Pain in the legs may occur due to compression of nerves that extend into the legs through the lumbar portion of the spine.
  • Lumbar spondylosis can also cause weakness, numbness, and cramping in the buttocks, legs, or feet due to nerve compression.
  • In severe cases, lumbar spondylosis may lead to spinal cord compression and the development of lumbar myelopathy.
  • This condition can cause problems with coordination and balance.
