Arthritis in the spine doesn’t look the same for everyone.

While ageing is one of the most common reasons, other factors like family history and obesity can increase the risk.

The important thing to remember is that spinal arthritis can be managed. Early diagnosis, lifestyle changes (exercise, movement therapies, dieting etc.) and the right treatment can help slow progression and keep you moving with less pain.

Book a consultation with Dr. Zondo for an expert opinion.💪🏽

Both conditions affect the bones, but they don't always feel the same.

➡️ Osteoarthritis makes itself known. It often brings stiffness, swelling, and pain in the joints (especially after activity)

➡️ Osteoporosis, on the other hand, is often silent. Many people won’t feel anything until a fracture happens

This is why awareness matters - knowing the difference could help you recognise what your body might be trying to tell you.

When a spinal nerve is compressed, it can feel very different from muscle pain. The signs are often surprising - strange tingling, weakness, or discomfort that makes simple movements harder than they should be.

If you’ve noticed changes that aren’t improving, Dr. Zondo can help you uncover what’s happening and create a personalised treatment plan for you.💪🏽

Cauda Equina Syndrome is rare, but it’s an important spinal condition to be aware of. It happens when the nerves at the base of the spine - which support leg movement as well as bladder and bowel function - become compressed.

In most cases, back pain isn’t always an emergency. But if pain is sudden and severe, or paired with numbness in the legs or changes in bladder or bowel habits, it’s best to seek medical attention quickly.

Early care can make all the difference in protecting comfort, mobility, and quality of life.💪🏽

For this year’s Mandela Day, we gave back in the way we know best - through compassionate and thoughtful care.

Sciatica pain is a sharp, shooting pain
that travels from your lower back down through your
hip and leg. But what actually causes it?

Sciatica happens when the sciatic nerve, the longest
nerve in your body, gets compressed or irritated. Some
common causes could be a slipped disk, tumours, or
even pregnancy.

If you're looking for personalised treatment, don't
hesitate to contact Dr. Zondo today.📞

When it comes to your back health, it's not only about moving your body - it's also how you move that counts.

→ Low-impact, core-strengthening exercises can improve posture, reduce pain, and protect your spine over time.

→ But certain high-impact or poorly performed moves (like sit-ups or heavy lifts) can increase your risk of injury, especially if you're already dealing with back issues.

Not sure what’s right for your back? Dr. Zondo can help guide you based on your condition and goals.🏋️‍♀️
