Cure is a special : Recently formed spondylolysis can heal themselves with stillness and bracing or cast needs to include a thigh if the spondylolysis is at L5 pars healed spondylolysis are not necessarily painful spondylolysis are not necessarily painful. A careful evaluation with diagnostic injections an confirm the pain generator, cure is a special word I use with care we diagnos treat notconfused with heal cure.

Normal aging process: Spondylosis refers to degenerative changes in the spine such as bone spurs and degenerating intervertebral discs and facet joints. It something that is expected. Just as we expect our skin to wrinkle as we get older. It is part of normal aging process. So everyone will have progressive spondylosis as they get older -- even starting as early as the second decade of life.
