Presentation
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]
But when symptoms do appear, they can present as pain ranging from mild to severe, initially presenting as stiffness in the mornings lasting for more than 30 minutes. [belmarrahealth.com]
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]
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]
- Spine Pain
In the spine, OA can affect the facet joints, the intervertebral discs, and the ligaments supporting the spine. Symptoms Back pain is the typical symptom associated with OA of the spine. The pain is typically felt deep in the muscles. [uclahealth.org]
When pain and stiffness occur gradually and chronically, osteoarthritis may be the cause. See How Arthritis Causes Back Pain Osteoarthritis of the spine is common with aging. [arthritis-health.com]

- Buttock Pain
Similarly, if the low back is affected, the patient may experience buttock pain and sciatica (leg pain). Stiffness can occur after periods of inactivity or rest, such as waking up after a nap. [spineuniverse.com]
Bending sideways or backward can also cause pain. Pain can be felt from the center of the low back and may expand to the pelvic area or the sides of the buttocks. Pain can also go into the thighs but rarely spreads to the knees. [medicalnewstoday.com]
- Acute Low Back Pain
Sign in Published on Mar 15, 2010 Acute Low Back pain self-treatment Once every hour: * 20 reps of every movement then directly * 30 reps of every movement then finish with * 40 reps of every movement Usually, your acute low back pain resolves the first [youtube.com]
The first stage is significant dysfunction caused by acute low back pain. The second stage is the longest phase where there is relative instability at the degenerated segment7. The patient in this stage is susceptible to intermittent bouts of pain. [pivotalphysio.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]
Treatment
Spinal Osteoarthritis Treatment If you are seeking the most advanced treatment for Spinal Osteoarthritis in Atlanta, you can count on the caring team from Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians. [orthosportandspine.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
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]
Treatment and prognosis Simple analgesia is the mainstay of treatment for most patients. [radiopaedia.org]
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]
Specifically, the diagnosis, prognosis, and management are components of discussion in patients with spondyloarthritis of the spine. [statpearls.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]
Etiology (cause): OA is most often atraumatic in nature, which means there was no specific trauma which caused the condition. [pivotalphysio.com]
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]

Prevention
Updated August.You can take steps to help prevent the development of osteoarthritis or to help prevent the progression of this condition. Osteoarthritis - Prevention. [sehemynijeqikabup.xpg.uol.com.br]
Instead treatment is normally aimed at reducing pain levels and preventing further degeneration. [clinic-hq.co.uk]
Is OA Preventable? Yes, and since there's no cure for OA, prevention is your best bet. You can lower your risk by staying physically active, maintaining a healthy weight, and preventing injuries to your joints. [prevention.com]
