Tell me whether cervical / lumbar spondylosis has got any permanent treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No quick answer: Spondylosis is also known as stenosis. It occurs as we get older. It occurs with trauma and repetitive spinal micro trauma. We can't prevent it. When it cause neurologic problems surgery might be needed to decompress neural structures such as nerve roots and the spinal cord.
