Juvenile osteochondrosis of spine - what does this mean

Juvenile osteochondrosis of the spine is a condition that occurs when the growth plates of the spine become inflamed and irritated, resulting in pain and discomfort. it is most commonly seen in adolescents and is caused by a combination of factors such as overuse, trauma, and poor posture.

What happens during the disease - juvenile osteochondrosis of spine

Juvenile osteochondrosis of the spine is a condition caused by an imbalance between the rate of bone growth and the rate of cartilage growth. this leads to the formation of abnormal ossification centers in the growth plates of the vertebrae, which can cause pain, deformity, and instability of the spine. the exact cause of this condition is unknown, but it is thought to be related to genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors.
