What Is Spinal Arthritis?

Spinal arthritis, also known as degenerative spinal arthritis or osteoarthritis of the spine, occurs when the cartilage that cushions the joints in your spine gradually wears down. Over time, this can lead to inflammation, stiffness, and pain in the neck, mid-back, or lower back.

It’s a common condition, especially with age, but pain doesn’t have to be something you “just live with.”

With the correct care and movement strategies, many people experience significant relief and improved mobility.

Degenerative Spinal Arthritis Symptoms

Spinal arthritis can present differently for everyone, but common symptoms can be such of the below and if you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, a thorough assessment can help you get answers and a clear treatment plan.

  • Persistent back or neck pain
  • Stiffness, especially in the morning
  • Pain that improves with movement
  • Difficulty bending or twisting
  • Muscle tightness or spasms
  • A grinding or clicking sensation in the spine
  • Reduced mobility
  • Pain that radiates into the hips, shoulders, or buttocks

How Is Spinal Arthritis Diagnosed?

At our clinic here in Carrigaline, your chiropractor will carry out a full consultation, which includes:

  • A detailed health history
  • Posture and movement assessment
  • Orthopaedic and neurological testing
  • Palpation to identify joint restriction and muscular tension
  • Discussion about your lifestyle, activities, and symptoms

If needed, we may refer you for imaging such as X-rays or MRI to confirm the extent of degenerative changes, rule out other conditions, and guide your care plan.

Our goal is always to understand the root cause of your discomfort and build a treatment approach that supports long-term results.
