Lumbar Arthritis

T it worse? All I can do?

The arthritis of the spine are very common because they absorb much of the burden of the human body. The best thing to prevent it from worsening is to be the appropriate weight. Overweight means more load on the lumbar spine. It tends to worsen with age, but it's true with everybody. This does not mean you have back pain or back problems as you age. Many people, even younger, have signs of arthritis in the back, especially if they are heavier individuals. Keep right weight, exercise, keep your core muscles and body shape, use good posture, and this is the best you can do. If you believe in glucosamine / chondroitin, you can consider that, although there is no evidence that large still are those who benefit.
