Many patients with spondylosis feel that their treatment is not ideal. Conservative treatment and lifestyle modification yield some results in many cases. The goal of treatment is to slow the disease process and improve the quality of life by improving signs and symptoms of the disease.

The following are some possible modalities for the treatment of Spondylosis:

· Conservative treatment:

o Analgesics (painkillers) and anti-inflammatory medications like NSAID’s.

o Muscle relaxants.

o Heat therapy.

o Electrical stimulation.

o Message therapy.

o Physiotherapy and exercises to strengthen the muscles.

o Injections for spinal joints in severe cases.

· Surgical Treatment:

o If above methods do not yield required results or if the severity of disease is beyond limitations of conservative treatment plan, then surgical intervention may become necessary.

o It involves repair of the affected inter-vertebral disc or removal of the disc if it’s not repairable.

o Sometimes fusion of two vertebrae is performed by using pieces of bone and inserting them between the two adjacent vertebrae.
