Spondylosis is a common degenerative condition of the spine, with prevalence increasing with age, and it has a significant impact on patients’ quality of life and functional ability. Characteristic structural changes, such as intervertebral disc degeneration, osteophyte formation, and narrowing of the spinal canal, can lead to a variety of clinical manifestations, ranging from axial pain and limited mobility to severe neurological complications, including radiculopathy and myelopathy. From a clinical perspective, spondylosis presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, requiring careful evaluation to differentiate it from other rheumatological or neurological conditions. The importance of this condition stems not only from its high prevalence but also from its potential for chronicity and disability, with significant socioeconomic implications. In this context, a multidisciplinary approach is essential for optimal management. Collaboration between the rheumatologist, neurologist and physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist allows for a comprehensive patient evaluation, correlating the clinical manifestations with imaging findings, and establishing an individualized treatment strategy. Treatment combines pharmacological interventions, functional rehabilitation measures and, in selected cases, surgical interventions. Thus, the effective management of spondylosis relies on the integration of multidisciplinary expertise, with the aim of optimizing functional outcomes and patients’ quality of life.
