Yes, it is true- but I have to question why you are asking me, an online question source. Now that you know that it can, I suggest you consult your orthopedist, the person most qualified to address and answer this.

Spondylosis is spinal degeneration with unnatural spine formation. It can lead to the formation of osteophytes or bone spurs that may cause the vertebrae of the spine to be deformed.

Yes, this is true. The main cause is because of the compromised blood supply to the vertebra causing the end plates to harden. This is a result of degenerative spinal disorder.

Yes. Spondylosis is a form of spinal disfigurement that can cause the vertebrae to warp into different shapes. This leads to the growth of unnatural bone spurs (osteophytes) on those vertebrae.
