What is mild spondylotic changes in the lumbar and is there any cure for it .is it something to worry about?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Arthritis: Basically spondylosis is a term used to describe degnerative changes to the spine. While this usually applies to the joints it can also be used to include the discs as well. This is part of the aging process and nothing to worry about if you are not in pain.
