1. Overview of Lumbar Spondylosis
Lumbar spondylosis presents with a range of symptoms and varying degrees of severity, depending on the individual patient:
- Thoracic spinal osteophytes affect the mid-back region.
- Lumbar spondylosis impacts the lower back.
- Multilevel spondylosis, in which bony projections form at multiple vertebral levels, can affect several areas of the spine.
While the clinical impact of lumbar spondylosis varies between patients, it typically does not cause serious complications.
2. Risk Factors

- A family history of spinal spondylosis.

- History of spinal injury or spinal surgery.
- Smoking.
