No, as there have to: Be other signs of arthritis before one can call it arthritis, like sclerosis, joint space reduction and spurs. Injury related spurs are most likelyavulsions fractures which then heal. These are not the arthritic spurs.

Not exactly: In time further injury could lead to increased stresses and further bone spurs if not treated appropriately. However your bone remodels in response to stress (good and bad) throughout your life. You are young and proper back care managed by a physician can help prevent and protect against any further premature changes. see a physical medicine and rehabilitation doc, they can help.
