The effect of risk factors on spondyloarthrosis has been studied, as well as the features of the disease clinical course and tactics of its treatment.

Spondyloarthroses treatment is no trouble in case of correct and timely making the diagnosis, and competently performed preventive measures allow to avoid the disease repeated occurrences.
