Presentation
If all three of these findings are not present, another diagnosis should be considered. [radiopaedia.org]
Abstract The aim of the present study was to determine the association between abdominal muscle strength and quality of life among older adults with lumbar osteoarthritis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Target Repetitions = 10 presented by Urmston Physio Clinic Exercise 2 - Lumbar Spine Flexion (Knee to Chest 1) Lie on you back and slowly bring your knee up to your chest. [rehabexercise.org]
Inflammation is usually present only when the condition has progressed and is more severe. [learnmuscles.com]
Entire Body System
- Swelling
Swelling is usually bony rather than soft tissue in character. [arthritis.co.za]
[…] grinding when moving the spine Pain, swelling and stiffness in other areas of the body (especially in inflammatory arthritis) Whole-body weakness and fatigue (more common in inflammatory arthritis) Pain and numbness in your arms or legs if the nerves [hopkinsmedicine.org]
The goal of steroid injections is to reduce swelling and thereby alleviate back stiffness and pain. [arthritis-health.com]
Patients with cervical facet osteoarthritis will often have tenderness or swelling over the site of the affected facet joints, as well as reduced range of motion in the neck. [spine-health.com]
- Falling
According to the researchers, 21.6% of participants self-reported falls in the preceding year. [healio.com]
Symptoms Specific conditions that fall under the umbrella term of lumbosacral spondylosis can include herniated discs, bulging discs, bone spurs and osteoarthritis, all of which are spinal abnormalities that run the risk of protruding into the spinal [charaka.org]
Your physical therapist will prescribe specific low-impact activities that will strengthen your spine, abdomen, and hip muscles—to improve your ability to stand, walk, and balance, and lower your risk of falling. [choosept.com]
Musculoskeletal
- Back Pain
The presence of baseline DSN was not found to be a risk factor for future back pain [42]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Low Back Pain
The associations between self reported morning stiffness in conjunction with low back symptoms were stronger than self reported low back pain alone. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Muscle Spasm
Massage therapies and Bowen technique have also been found to help loosen the muscle spasm around the joint. [clinic-hq.co.uk]
See Anatomy Of Nerve Pain This signal then causes the back muscles to go into spasm. Watch Video: What Is Your Back Muscle Spasm Telling You? The combination of the muscle spasm and inflammation of the joints causes low back pain. [spine-health.com]
Corticosteroids are used to control inflammation, and muscle relaxants are used to minimize muscle spasms. Your doctor will only recommend surgery as a last resort. [healthline.com]
- Leg Pain
Lumbar spondylosis is treated by surgical decompression of the affected nerves to relieve leg pain and paralysis, although low back pain may recur after surgery. [britannica.com]
This could lead to neck and/or low back pain, arm and leg pain, paresthesias (needles and pins), and muscle weakness. [njspinespecialists.net]
Materials and Methods A total of 550 patients who underwent lumbar spine MRI for low back pain or radicular leg pain were reviewed. [thieme-connect.com]
[…] getting out of bed in the morning Referred pain, such as headaches caused by osteoarthritis in the neck or leg pain caused by osteoarthritis in the lower back This article provides an in-depth review of the symptoms, causes and risk factors, diagnostic [arthritis-health.com]
- Joint Stiffness
Our treatments are focused around alleviating the symptoms associated with the joint stiffness and/or nerve compression that results from Lumbar Spondylosis. [orthosportandspine.com]
It is accompanied by joint stiffness and thus a decrease in lumbar mobility. Lumbar osteoarthritis can also compress the sciatic nerve, which can cause pain in the legs all the way down to the toes. [health.ccm.net]
In stage 4 the joint space between the bones are considerably reduced, causing the cartilage to wear off, leaving the joint stiff. [ibji.com]
Joint stiffness and pain are the most common symptoms of osteoarthritis. You may experience stiffness trying to get out of bed in the morning. You may also experience increased joint pain right after exercise or physical exertion. [health.howstuffworks.com]
Neurologic
- Paresthesia
Paresthesias (abnormal sensations) may develop, such as numbness or tingling. As mentioned earlier, spondylosis is often associated with aging. [spineuniverse.com]
In more severe cases, it may cause pressure on nerve roots with subsequent sensory and/or motor disturbances, such as pain, paresthesia, or muscle weakness in the limbs. [davidrobertsphysio.co.uk]
This could lead to neck and/or low back pain, arm and leg pain, paresthesias (needles and pins), and muscle weakness. [njspinespecialists.net]
If severe, it may cause pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots with subsequent sensory or motor disturbances, such as pain, paresthesia, imbalance, and muscle weakness in the limbs. [en.wikipedia.org]
Workup
The primary provider will be able to evaluate to see if further workup is needed. A diagnosis usually can be made based on specific symptoms, a thorough physical examination and x-ray results. [aans.org]
See Workup for more detail. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The difference between the pain scores in two active treatments arms was not statistically significant at the Vf whereas the differences between the pain scores of two active treatment arms vs the placebo arm were statistically significant validating [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
If the anticoagulant treatment was prescribed in cardiology, the cardiologists' agreement is necessary before interrupting the treatment. An epidural injection is not recommended during treatment with an antiplatelet drug. [arthrolink.com]
Prognosis
Treatment and prognosis Simple analgesia is the mainstay of treatment for most patients. [radiopaedia.org]
Prognosis of Lumbosacral Spondylosis without Myelopathy If treated early then the prognosis for Lumbosacral spondylosis without myelopathy is good for the patient and they can live a healthy life-style. [epainassist.com]
Specifically, the diagnosis, prognosis, and management are components of discussion in patients with spondyloarthritis of the spine. [statpearls.com]
Use of proper mechanics, proper posture, body mechanics and awareness of the do’s and don’ts for a healthy back is necessary for a good long-term prognosis. [twinboro.com]
For a positive prognosis, don’t ignore symptoms and talk to your doctor if you have pain, numbness, weakness, or swelling in your back — or in any part of your body. [healthline.com]
Etiology
These findings suggest a different etiological process may exist between SOA and FOA and supports the potential for separate clinical phenotypes. [acrabstracts.org]
The etiology of spine osteoarthritis is likely secondary to its multifactorial pathogenesis. Its etiology includes genetic predisposition, epigenetics, dietary changes, sex, and ethnicity differences. [statpearls.com]
Reiter’s syndrome Reiter’s syndrome is a relatively uncommon arthropathy of uncertain etiology with the classic triad of urethritis, arthritis, and conjunctivitis. [rad.washington.edu]
To address prevention and treatment, understanding the etiology of LBP is important, because it may differ within the large majority of patients in whom we describe the etiology as mechanical or non-specific origin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology
CONCLUSION: This study established epidemiological baseline data for degenerative lumbar osteoarthritis in adults, especially for people younger than 45 years. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology
These findings are consistent with central (spinal) sensitization, a pathophysiological state implicated in chronic pain. [fasebj.org]
“[T]hese findings suggest the pathophysiologic processes may vary across different OA phenotypes in the lumbar spine. [rheumatologyadvisor.com]
Elucidating these transitions would improve our understanding of the underlying pathophysiological processes and may indicate the potential for separate clinical phenotypes. [acrabstracts.org]
