Expert Spinal Health Solutions

Lumbar spondylitis is primarily caused by degeneration of intervertebral discs and the natural wear and tear of the spine due to aging. Other factors include poor posture, heavy lifting, repetitive strain, obesity, and spinal injuries. Maintaining proper body mechanics and regular exercise can help prevent or slow progression.

Surgery is typically considered only when conservative treatments such as medications, physical therapy, and injections have not provided adequate relief after 6-12 weeks. Most spinal conditions can be effectively managed with non-surgical approaches. Our specialists will exhaust all conservative options before recommending surgery.

The duration of physical therapy varies depending on the severity of your condition and how consistently you follow the prescribed exercises. Most patients see significant improvement within 4-8 weeks of regular therapy sessions. However, chronic conditions may require longer-term management with periodic sessions.

Recovery time varies based on the type of surgery performed. Minor procedures may require 2-4 weeks, while major spinal fusion surgeries typically require 3-6 months for full recovery. Patients must follow post-operative guidelines carefully and participate in rehabilitation exercises for best results.

Yes, absolutely. Maintaining a healthy weight, practicing good posture, doing regular exercise, avoiding prolonged sitting, and lifting objects correctly can significantly reduce your risk of spinal problems. Additionally, managing stress, staying hydrated, and getting adequate sleep support spinal health.
