Say Goodbye to Neck and Back Pain – Advanced Spondylosis Care at Capri Spine Clinic
Spondylosis is a degenerative disorder that affects the spinal column, leading to the gradual breakdown of the vertebrae (bones), intervertebral discs, ligaments, and joints that make up your spine. Over time, this natural wear and tear can cause stiffness, reduced flexibility, and pain in the affected area.
It can occur in different regions of the spine:
This condition is primarily associated with aging, but other lifestyle factors such as poor posture, prolonged sitting, sedentary lifestyle, or repetitive strain can accelerate spinal degeneration. As the spinal discs lose hydration and elasticity with age, they become thinner and less able to absorb shocks, leading to friction between vertebrae, formation of bone spurs (osteophytes), and nerve compression.
Modern-day habits like working long hours on computers, constantly looking down at mobile screens, or poor ergonomic setup have made spondylosis increasingly common — even among younger adults.
Spondylosis symptoms develop gradually and can range from mild discomfort to severe, chronic pain. Depending on the region affected, symptoms may vary:
If left untreated, spondylosis can progress to more severe conditions such as:
Early recognition of spondylosis allows for timely management before complications develop.
At Capri Spine Clinic, our experts use advanced spine assessments, posture analysis, and imaging support to accurately diagnose the condition and determine its severity. The goal is not just to relieve pain but to restore spinal balance, improve flexibility, and prevent recurrence through a personalized physiotherapy program.
Spondylosis does not develop overnight — it’s a progressive condition that occurs due to a combination of aging, lifestyle factors, and mechanical stress on the spine. Understanding the causes helps in both prevention and effective management of spinal health.
Below are the major factors contributing to spondylosis:
One of the most common causes of spondylosis is poor posture, especially in people who spend long hours sitting at desks or looking down at their phones.
Slouching or bending the neck forward increases strain on the cervical and lumbar spine, leading to early disc wear and joint stiffness. Over time, this posture imbalance weakens spinal muscles and accelerates degeneration.
Modern lifestyles involve extended screen time, whether for work or leisure. This leads to “tech neck” — constant forward bending of the neck and shoulders, putting pressure on cervical vertebrae. The repetitive strain damages discs and causes chronic neck or upper back pain.
Lifting heavy objects incorrectly, doing intense workouts without proper posture, or carrying uneven weight (like handbags on one shoulder) can cause micro-injuries to the spinal discs and ligaments.
Repeated strain leads to disc thinning, herniation, and spondylotic changes over time.
With age, the spine naturally loses flexibility and hydration. The intervertebral discs that act as cushions between vertebrae become thinner and less elastic.
As a result, bones rub against each other, forming bone spurs (osteophytes) and leading to stiffness, restricted movement, and nerve compression.
A history of spinal injury, fractures, or chronic spinal diseases (like arthritis or disc prolapse) can speed up degenerative changes.
Injured tissues heal with reduced elasticity, making the spine more vulnerable to future stress and degeneration.
A sedentary lifestyle weakens the core and back muscles that support the spine. Weak muscles fail to stabilize the vertebrae, leading to uneven load distribution and faster degeneration.
Regular movement and strengthening exercises are essential to maintain spinal flexibility and strength.
Excess weight, particularly around the abdomen, increases pressure on the lumbar (lower back) spine.
This constant stress causes premature disc wear and postural imbalances, increasing the risk of lumbar spondylosis and chronic back pain.
Working for long hours on non-ergonomic chairs or desks can cause cumulative damage to the spine.
Incorrect monitor height, lack of back support, or improper sitting angles lead to repetitive stress injuries in the neck and lower back.
People with a family history of spinal issues or early-onset arthritis may be genetically more prone to spondylosis.
Inherited factors influence bone structure, disc strength, and connective tissue resilience.
Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption reduce blood supply to spinal tissues and interfere with calcium absorption, leading to weak bones and poor disc repair. Over time, this weakens the spine’s natural healing ability, making it more vulnerable to degeneration.
Jobs involving repetitive bending, twisting, or heavy lifting (e.g., drivers, construction workers, office professionals) can cause chronic mechanical stress on the spine. This repetitive microtrauma accelerates wear and tear and increases the risk of spondylosis at an early age.
Accurate diagnosis is the first and most important step toward effective treatment of spondylosis. Since its symptoms—like back or neck pain—can resemble other spinal conditions, a thorough assessment is essential to identify the exact cause, location, and severity of degeneration.
At Capri Spine Clinic, our team follows a comprehensive, evidence-based diagnostic approach to determine the root cause of your spinal pain and plan a precise, non-surgical treatment strategy.
Our diagnosis begins with a complete review of your medical and lifestyle history — including posture habits, work profile, previous injuries, exercise routine, and any episodes of chronic neck or back pain.
This helps us understand potential triggers like poor ergonomics, repetitive strain, or age-related changes that may have contributed to spinal degeneration.
A detailed physical assessment is performed to check:
This examination helps in identifying restricted movement, imbalance, or muscular tightness that often accompany spondylosis.
Since spondylosis can compress spinal nerves, a neurological assessment is conducted to check:
This test helps locate nerve compression and evaluate the impact on limb movement or sensation.
To confirm the diagnosis and understand the extent of degeneration, we recommend advanced imaging studies such as:
These imaging tools give a clear picture of vertebral wear and tear, disc damage, and nerve involvement, ensuring accurate treatment planning.
At Capri Spine Clinic, we use advanced motion assessment techniques to analyze spinal movement patterns, flexibility, and core stability.
This helps us detect early functional limitations and design personalized physiotherapy programs that restore normal movement and prevent further degeneration.
We evaluate the intensity, duration, and pattern of pain using standardized pain scales and questionnaires.
This helps in tracking your progress during the treatment and making necessary modifications to your rehabilitation plan.
Ignoring early signs of neck or back stiffness can worsen spondylosis and lead to nerve compression or disc herniation. Early diagnosis and physiotherapy intervention can:
Physiotherapy is the most effective, non-surgical, and long-term solution for managing spondylosis. It focuses on reducing pain, improving spinal flexibility, and strengthening the supporting muscles to restore normal function.
At Capri Spine Clinic, our treatment programs are tailored to your condition’s severity, posture habits, and lifestyle — ensuring safe and lasting relief without dependency on painkillers or surgery.
Personalized Physiotherapy Approach at Capri Spine Clinic
