6. Spondylosis has Multiple Causes
People develop spondylosis for a variety of reasons. Here is a list of the most common cause of the condition. Inflammatory joint disease – conditions like gout, joint infection, and rheumatoid disease. These conditions inflame the facet joints and discs.
Metabolic issues – Paget’s and Wilson’s disease can cause the development of spondylosis.
Endocrine issues – Diabetes, acromegaly, hypothyroidism, and obesity. All of these conditions play a role in human health, and their symptoms can create structural problems that lead to the development of spondylosis.
Neuropathic disorders – Degenerative nerve disease will prevent individuals from sensing pain attributed to spondylosis.
Traumatic injury – Breaking vertebrae or damaging discs in an injury, such as a car accident.
Developmental or congenital abnormalities – For example; unequal leg length may place stress on one side of the hips leading to the development of lumbar or thoracic spondylosis.
Genetic disorder – Diseases such as Ehlers-Danlos disrupt collagen production.
Nutritional deficiencies – A diet lacking in calcium and magnesium can lead to skeletal disease and development of spondylosis.
