The Basics of Back Arthritis
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis that affects the spine. Characterized by age-related degeneration of cushioning joint cartilage, osteoarthritis can significantly impact range of motion and make it difficult to stay active. As the disease progresses, numbness and tingling sensations may occur as a result of spinal nerve compression.
While osteoarthritis cannot be reversed, there are several ways to find relief from back arthritis pain and help preserve joint health. Common treatment approaches include:
- Healthy lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking and losing excess weight
- Regular low-impact exercise, such as walking in comfortable shoes and swimming
- Physical therapy
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and pain relieving medications
- Anti-inflammatory injections
If non-surgical methods fail to relieve back arthritis pain, surgery may be considered to stabilize the spine or relieve uncomfortable nerve compression.
