Spondylosis Treatment in Pune
Spondylosis is a medical term used to offer insights into the different spinal degeneration often caused due to the natural aging process. However, in a few cases, surgeons also use the term to describe the signs of spinal osteoarthritis or degenerative disc disease. Hence, it is essential to identify the type of Spondylosis to gain insights regarding the causes and the different Spondylosis treatments for the same.

The symptoms vary depending upon which disc is affected by degeneration. Some known symptoms found while treating patients with degenerative disc disease are as follows:
Causes of Spondylosis
Accurate diagnosis and Spondylosis treatment is only possible when you know about the underlying reasons causing it:
Spondylosis is caused primarily by aging and osteoarthritis. Other factors that increase your risk of spondylosis include:
- A job that puts strain on your spine or necessitates repetitive movement,
- Obesity
- A sedentary way of life
- A history of spine problems in the family
- Smoking
- Poor Posture
Spondylosis is caused by three processes that affect your spine. They are as follows:
Disc degeneration in the spine
Discs sit as shock absorbers between the vertebrae of your spine. Spinal discs have a tough outer layer and a softer inner layer. As you get older, your discs thin out and stop cushioning your bones as well. Your spine’s other cartilage may also wear away.
Damaged Discs
As your spine deteriorates, the discs between your vertebrae may bulge out. These deteriorated discs may also put pressure on your nerves. A disc may rupture or herniate in a few cases, causing a sudden increase in pain as well as numbness, tingling, and other symptoms.
Bone spur development
When discs do not adequately cushion your vertebrae, they may develop bone spurs to protect themselves. Bone spurs can sometimes press on a nerve.
Spinal canal narrowing
The combination of all of these processes can cause your spinal canal to narrow, resulting in less space for your spinal cord. This is referred to as spinal stenosis. Pain can be caused by nerve tissue crowding.
At Enliven Ortho and Spinal Wellness Centre, we analyze the above causes to recommend apt Spondylosis treatment with precision.
Symptoms of Spondylosis
- Pain in areas near the neck and back
- Numbness or loss of sensation
- Weakness in the muscles
- Radiating pain
- Stiffness in the facet joints
- Decrease in the range of motion

Types of Spondylosis
Cervical Spondylosis
Medically termed as osteoarthritis, this occurs as a symptom of aging. Cervical spondylosis treatment helps relieve the pain and muscle spasms, thus enhancing the body’s movement.
Thoracic Spondylosis
Though Thoracic Spondylosis is used as a covering term for Spondylosis, it can still become potential enough to disturb a person’s daily activities. The initial sessions might include lifestyle changes and anti-inflammatory medication.
Lumbar Spondylosis
Unlike Thoracic and Cervical Spondylosis, Lumbar spondylosis treatment is a serious problem and demands immediate attention. The dense bones near the angular ligament stress vertebrae boundaries, sending painful pinch throughout the spine.
Multi-level Spondylosis
As the name suggests, Multi-level Spondylosis occurs due to degeneration occurring between multiple vertebrae.
Spondylosis Treatment

Below mentioned are some common surgical Spondylosis treatments:
- Decompression surgeries are performed to remove bone spurs (foraminotomy), herniated discs (discectomy), or a portion of the vertebra (facetectomy)
- Stabilization surgery, such as spinal fusion, is used to stabilize vertebral segments that are moving abnormally by using bone grafts and hardware.
- Disc replacement may also be a good option for some patients, especially if you want to avoid fusion and preserve motion.
However, Enliven Ortho and Spinal Wellness Centre stresses and specializes in non-surgical Spondylosis treatment for long-term wellness and no side effects.
Here are some non-operative Spondylosis treatment methods that Enliven Ortho and Spinal Wellness Centre abides by:
The overall goal of nonsurgical treatment is to improve the strength and coordination of the muscles that surround the spine so that they can function as the world’s best back and neck brace.
Fortunately, nonsurgical treatments such as anti-inflammatory medication, physical therapy, and injections are well tolerated by most patients.
- Analgesics (pain relievers), anti-inflammatory medications, and muscle relaxants are common first-line medical treatments. In more severe or persistent cases, low opioid doses and stronger analgesics may be used.
- Because injection therapy is more invasive than other therapies, it is considered "middle of the road" treatment. Nerve blocks, steroid injections, and injections are just a few of the injections used to treat spinal pain—but they can only be administered every few months.
- By preventing nerves from transmitting pain signals to the brain, radiofrequency ablation of the nerves that innervate the spine's painful and arthritic facet joints can provide pain relief for three to six months.
- Ice, heat, massage, and ultrasound may all be used in physical therapy.
- Stretching and warm-up movement (as tolerated) help the body prepare for more active exercise.
- Strengthening exercises can aid in the improvement of spinal flexibility, strength, and endurance.
Spondylosis is not curable, but it can be managed. Hot and cold packs are effective treatments. Heat can help relieve pain and soreness in joints and muscles.
- Aerobic exercise with no impact improves overall circulation, resting muscle tone (which leads to better posture), and inflammation.
- Losing weight may help with pain relief.
- Another great non-surgical way of Spondylosis treatment is improving and maintaining good postures that can help prevent pain aggravation.
