What causes spondylitic changes?

Spondylitic changes are caused by conditions such as ankylosing spondylitis, a type of arthritis that primarily affects the spine. In ankylosing spondylitis, the immune system attacks the joints and causes inflammation that can lead to bone formation and fusion of the vertebrae. This can result in stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility in the affected areas of the spine.

When i got my mri report it quotes minor spondylitic change in the cervical spine and lower lumber dehydration but i still have balance walking and breathing problems?

spondylitic (although more likely to be spondylotic) changes and lumbar disc dehydration are both extremely common findings on MRI scans when looking at the spinal column of older people. The discs become dehydrated as we get older and that is why we shrink. spondylotic means wear and tear or degeneration.Neither of these cause breathing problems or imbalance when walking and they were unlikely to have been caused as a result of a problem in the spinal column.
