Surgery may be needed for certain patients with severe cases of spinal arthritis that leads to instability of the joint (degenerative spondylolisthesis) or nerve root pinching (spinal stenosis). Often both conditions run together as unstable joints tend to get bigger over time, eventually creating stenosis of the spinal canal.

Spinal arthritis, or osteoarthritis (OA) of the spine, is a degenerative condition that affects many older adults. It is the most common form of arthritis. When this specific type of osteoarthritis is present, it is typically the result of inflammation of the facet joints located in the spine or sacroiliac joints at the base of the spine.

Lumbar facet arthropathy, also called facet joint arthritis or facet joint syndrome, refers to lower back pain caused by inflammation of the facet joints that connect one vertebra to another in the spine and the cartilage that lines them.
Technically, spondylosis is a form of arthritis—spinal osteoarthritis (osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis) to be exact. We tend to think of arthritis as something you get in your hands and knees, but the spine, and all of its bones and joints, can fall victim to its grip as well.
