What is spondoltic changes?

Spondylotic changes refer to degenerative alterations in the spine, often associated with aging or wear and tear. These changes typically involve the intervertebral discs, vertebrae, and surrounding structures, leading to conditions like osteoarthritis, disc degeneration, and bone spurs. Symptoms can include pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, particularly in the neck or lower back. Diagnosis usually involves imaging studies, and treatment may include physical therapy, medications, or, in severe cases, surgery.
