What is Spondylosis?

Spondylosis is a type of arthritis of the spine. Spondylosis involves growth of osteophytes (bony protrusions) of the bones which form the openings through which nerves from the spine pass. These openings are called foramina (singular "foramen"). If the spondylosis is sufficiently severe, the osteophytes can make the foramina so small that the exiting nerve root is pinched. This can cause radicular pain. Radicular pain is pain radiating from the spine (usually into an extremity), caused by pressure on a nerve root. Not all spondylosis causes pinched nerves though.
