Spinal Arthritis Symptoms and Treatments

Spinal arthritis symptoms are much the same as those of other forms of arthritis. Sufferers generally experience a reduced range of motion, soreness, swelling, inflammation, and stiffness. These symptoms can be worse in the morning and, in some cases, they can cause pain in other parts of the body. For instance, if spinal arthritis in your lower back results in a pinched nerve, and that nerve travels to the leg, you may feel numbness, weakness, or tingling there. In severe cases, arthritis can be so painful that it drastically limits movement.

These symptoms occur because arthritis deteriorates the cartilage on spinal vertebrae that prevents the rubbing of bone on bone within joints. Without the cartilage, friction occurs, and it causes painful irritation as well as swelling that can result in nerve compression. Unfortunately, there is no cure for spinal arthritis, but the symptoms can be treated. Generally, patients have success managing their symptoms with non-prescription pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs. Sometimes special stretches and other exercises are prescribed, but if those and other non-invasive methods don’t work, surgery may be necessary. If your doctor has suggested surgery, you may want to consider an endoscopic treatment from Laser Spine Institute (LSI). These treatments are minimally invasive, require only a short recovery period, and are highly effective.

For more information about relieving your spinal arthritis symptoms with a treatment from LSI, contact us today. We’ll also tell you about the free MRI or CT scan review available to all prospective patients.
