Spinal Injury
Spinal injury is also one of the significant risk factors for spondylosis. Injuries can trigger herniation or bulging of the intervertebral disks. The most common causes of spinal injuries include whiplash injuries, motor vehicle accidents, repetitive strain injuries, and lifting heavyweights.
Also, other joint conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are more likely to develop in injured bones and joints, including joints in the spine. The overlapping of these conditions can cause worsening of the symptoms.
