Lumbar Spondylosis

Lumbar Spondylosis is a common part of the ageing process and can occur from the age of 40+.  Repetitive weight bearing activities, poor posture, previous injury and excess weight all contribute to developing Lumbar Spondylosis. 

 

 What are the symptoms?   

• Pain in the lower back, buttock or leg.

• Restricted movement in the back, particularly in the morning and after periods of rest.

• Disturbed sleep due to pain.

• Pins and needles or loss of sensation in the leg or foot.

• In more severe cases a weakness in the leg or foot.

• It is common to experience back stiffness particularly in the morning.
