What is lumbar stenosis with neurogenic claudication?

Neurogenic claudication is usually caused by spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal) in the lumbar spine (lower back). The narrowing of the spinal canal is generally caused by wear and tear and arthritic changes in the lower spine.

Is spondylosis and spondylolisthesis the same?

Spondylosis involves the separation of the pars interarticularis. In contrast, spondylolisthesis is defined by a slipped vertebra. When one bone of the spine slips forward over another, it causes damage to the spinal structure.

What is the difference between spondylosis and stenosis?

Lumbar spondylosis describes degenerative changes (arthritic changes) within the lumbar spine. Lumbar canal stenosis means narrowing or compression of the spinal nerves in the lower back due to spinal degeneration (wear and tear).

Is spondylosis the same as spinal stenosis?

Spondylosis can lead to spinal stenosis, which is a narrowing of the spinal canal. As a result, the spinal cord and/or spinal nerve roots can become compressed (pinched). For example, the cervical spinal cord can be affected by compression from spondylosis. This is called cervical spondylotic myelopathy.
