4.Osteoarthritis:
This condition results from wear and tear of the disc and facet joints.It causes pain,inflammation,instability and stenosis to a variable degree, and can occur at a single level or multiple levels of the lower spine.Spinal osteoarthritis is associated with aging and is slowly progressive referred as spondylosis or degenerative joint disease.
