What is the difference between l5-s1 spondylosis and l5-s1 ddd?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Similar: Those two terms often are used interchangeably. Ddd refers to degenerative disc disease specifically. Spondylosis refers to degeneration in the spine diffusely and can include ligaments and facet joints.
