Arthrosis of the spine, known as osteoarthritis of the spine or spondyloarthrosis, is the wear and tear of the cartilage in the joints of the spine, which causes symptoms such as pain and difficulty moving the back, and can be caused by age-related changes, genetic changes or incorrect movements with the back. The symptoms of osteoarthritis are different for each person, with intensities ranging from mild to severe, and can even cause limitations in daily activities and work. Therefore, in some cases, osteoarthritis may be an indication for time off work or retirement, but this only happens rarely, because when the person undergoes proper treatment, the symptoms are usually well controlled. Wear and tear can occur in any region of the spine, being more common in the lumbar and cervical regions. Although there is no cure, treatment can greatly improve symptoms and the person's quality of life, including the use of painkillers, anti-inflammatories, as well as surgical options for cases that are difficult to improve. Main symptoms Cartilage is important for cushioning impact and reducing friction between the ends of the bones. When there is osteoarthritis, symptoms such as: Pain in the spine that worsens with movement; Difficulty moving the region due to pain; There may be a tingling or numbness sensation in the neck or arms, when there is cervical osteoarthritis; There may be a tingling or numbness sensation in the legs, when there is lumbar osteoarthritis. As the body attempts to recover from bone wear, small points may also form at the ends of the bones, known as parrot's beaks, which pinch or squeeze the nerves that pass through the region, such as the sciatic nerve, and cause a lot of pain. In addition, compression of the cartilage discs in the spine, called intervertebral discs, can cause them to bulge out of the spine, resulting in a herniated disc. Watch the following video and learn all about herniated discs: How to confirm the diagnosis The diagnosis of osteoarthritis of the spine is made based on the symptoms presented and a physical examination performed by the doctor, together with imaging tests such as an x-ray of the spine. In some cases, an MRI of the spine may be necessary to identify changes such as a herniated disc or small deformities not seen on the x-ray. Causes of osteoarthritis of the spine Osteoarthritis of the spine has genetic and hereditary influences, however, there is a greater risk of developing the changes due to: Natural wear and tear of the spinal joints due to age; Repetitive and incorrect movements, such as carrying heavy objects in the wrong position; Excessive physical exercise; Blows to the spine, caused by trauma and accidents. Therefore, it is very important that physical activity is supervised by a professional, and that repetitive or strenuous movements performed at work are performed while maintaining correct posture, thus preventing the development of osteoarthritis. Physiotherapy treatment Physiotherapy is a very important treatment for those with osteoarthritis of the spine, as the exercises and manipulations performed by the physiotherapist help to reduce inflammation, align the joints and strengthen the muscles, so that there is less overload and pain in the spine. How is the treatment performed? There is no cure for spondyloarthrosis, but its correct treatment is very important to eliminate the symptoms and improve the person's quality of life, with medications such as: Painkillers, such as Paracetamol or Dipyrone, 2 to 4 times a day, or when pain is present; Anti-inflammatories, such as Ketoprofen or Ibuprofen, in tablet or ointment form, should be used for a limited time, as per medical advice, as their continuous use can be harmful to organs such as the stomach and kidneys; Injectable anesthetics and corticosteroids, called infiltrations or blocks, are injected into the joint for better local pain control in difficult-to-control cases.
