What causes the loss of lumbar spinal space

Loss of lumbar spinal space may be caused by trauma, long-term strain, or herniated lumbar disc or spinal tuberculosis.
1. Trauma: If the intervertebral disc is obviously traumatized, it may lead to wear and tear and fragmentation of the intervertebral disc, and then cause the phenomenon of lumbar vertebral gap disappearance.
2. Long-term strain: If you often do heavy manual labor, lift heavy objects, or often use the lower back segment during exercise, it may lead to wear and tear and deformation of the intervertebral discs, resulting in the disappearance of the lumbar intervertebral space.
3. Lumbar intervertebral disc herniation: excessive lumbar load, or lumbar intervertebral disc degenerative strain, etc., may cause structural changes in the intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus, annulus fibrosus, cartilage plate, fibrous annulus thickness or fracture, the nucleus pulposus tissue from the ruptured annulus fibrosus out of the lumbar intervertebral disc protruding, resulting in lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, resulting in lumbar intervertebral space disappearance phenomenon.
4. Spinal tuberculosis: the most common bone and joint tuberculosis, vertebral tuberculosis in the lumbar spine tuberculosis is common, pain, neurological dysfunction, vertebral deformity, cold abscess and sinus tract formation and other local symptoms, lumbar spine gap disappearance phenomenon.
The lumbar intervertebral space disappeared, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor standardized treatment.
