Spondylosis may be considered a disability if the symptoms are severe enough to prevent you from working, although it’s a difficult disability to prove to the Social Security Administration (SSA) to receive benefits.
If your application for Disability was denied or you’re worried about applying in the first place, then Houston Social Security Disability lawyers can help you get approved for the benefits you paid for.
You paid into the Social Security system for your entire working life, so let us fight to get you the benefits you worked so hard for now that spondylosis has made you unable to work.
What Is Spondylosis?
Sometimes called “arthritis of the spine,” spondylosis is a degenerative condition that affects the spine in the neck, lower back, or other locations.
The disability denial lawyers at Marc Whitehead & Associates wrote the book on securing Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, so let us help you get the money you deserve for the disabling symptoms you experience due to your spondylosis.

Is Spondylosis a Disability?
A simple diagnosis of spondylosis is not necessarily a disability in and of itself. You must be able to prove that your spondylosis symptoms are severe enough to prevent you from working not only in your current job but at any job.
An experienced disability lawyer can guide you to ensure you get all the proof you need to show the SSA that your spondylosis disables you to the point where you can’t work.
How Spondylosis Can Affect Your Ability to Work
Spondylosis can affect a person’s ability to work in many different ways, including:
- Nerve compression, which can cause tingling, numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs
- Pain and stiffness in the neck or back can make prolonged standing or sitting difficult
- Difficulty performing repetitive tasks can occur when jobs that require repetitive movements exacerbate spondylosis symptoms
- Fatigue caused by constant pain can make it hard to concentrate
- The limited range of motion caused by spondylosis can make it difficult to twist, lift, or bend over
Can You Get Social Security Disability Benefits for Spondylosis?
Wondering who can get disability for spondylosis? You must be disabled by the condition and have enough work history to qualify for Social Security Disability–generally, you must have worked for at least five out of the last 10 years to qualify.
