Lumbar spondylitis—also known as arthritis of the lower spine—is a degenerative condition where the joints, discs, and surrounding structures of the lower back become inflamed or worn out. This leads to stiffness, chronic pain, reduced mobility, and difficulty performing everyday activities. At Synchrony, we offer evidence-based rehabilitation to reduce inflammation, improve joint mobility, and strengthen the spine for long-term relief.

Common Symptoms of Lumbar Spondylitis

Symptoms may develop gradually and worsen with prolonged activity or age:

• Persistent lower back pain

• Morning stiffness or difficulty bending

• Pain that worsens with standing or walking

• Reduced flexibility or tightness in the lower back

• Radiating pain into the buttocks or legs

• Muscle spasms

• Difficulty maintaining upright posture

Early diagnosis and proper management can prevent the condition from progressing.

Common Causes

Lumbar spondylitis typically develops due to age-related wear and tear, but can be worsened by:

• Degenerative disc disease

• Osteoarthritis of the spinal joints

• Poor posture

• Sedentary lifestyle

• Weak core and hip muscles

• Repetitive strain or heavy lifting

• Prior spinal injury

• Inflammatory conditions

Our treatment focuses on addressing the root cause, not just the pain.
