Spine Arthritis

Spine arthritis, also known as spinal osteoarthritis, is a degenerative joint disease affecting the spine. It can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced flexibility in the back and neck, significantly impacting daily activities and quality of life.

Causes of Spine Arthritis

Spine arthritis can be caused by several factors:
 

• Aging: The natural aging process leads to the breakdown of cartilage in the spine.

• Injuries: Previous injuries can contribute to the development of arthritis.

• Genetics: A family history of arthritis increases the risk of developing the condition.

• Obesity: Excess weight puts additional stress on the joints, accelerating cartilage breakdown.

• Repetitive Stress: Jobs or activities that place repeated stress on the spine can lead to arthritis.

Movements to Help Relieve Your Spine Arthritis

• Stretching: Regular stretching can improve flexibility and reduce stiffness.

• Strengthening Exercises: Strengthening the muscles around the spine can provide better support and alleviate symptoms.

• Low-Impact Aerobic Exercise: Activities like walking, swimming, or cycling can improve overall fitness and reduce pain.

• Proper Posture: Maintaining good posture can prevent further joint damage.
