As joint cartilage wears down, the space between vertebrae narrows, increasing pressure on intervertebral discs. The body may form bone spurs, or osteophytes, in response. These changes can affect surrounding structures like facet joints, spinal discs, nerve roots, and even the spinal cord, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
