Can spondylosis be caused by a tramatic accident?

Yes, spondylosis can be influenced by a traumatic accident. While it is primarily associated with age-related wear and tear of the spinal discs and joints, trauma can accelerate the degenerative process or lead to injuries that contribute to the development of spondylosis. Factors such as herniated discs or spinal fractures from the accident may also exacerbate existing conditions, leading to increased pain and stiffness in the spine.
