Spinal osteoarthritis is characterized by pain and dull aching in the spinal area, abnormal cracking sounds during movement, and stiffness in the spine upon waking in the morning. Therefore, it's important to keep the spine warm and avoid exposure to cold, refrain from excessive physical activity, and avoid prolonged bending or working in bent-over positions to prevent worsening of the condition. If pain occurs, treatments such as heat therapy, acupuncture, and moxibustion may be used.
