What Is Spondylosis?
7. Complications
When pressure continues to be placed on the nerves in the spine, the nerves can eventually become damaged. This can cause the patient to permanently lose control over certain bodily fictions, and they can become paralyzed from the waist down. Being paralyzed from the waist down is a condition that is known as paraplegia.
Spondylosis can also result in tetraplegia, which means that the patient has suffered at least a partial loss of control over all four of their limbs. Pressure sores can also develop, and some types of spondylosis can also result in damage to the lungs, and frequent lung infections.
