What a great question! Yes, there is a difference. 💙

Spondylosis is a general term for age-related wear and tear affecting the spinal disks in your spine (often lumbar and neck). (Mayo)

Spondylitis:Spondylitis is an autoimmune disease, meaning that pain and inflammation are a result of the body’s immune system attacking its own tissues. (My Spondylitis Team)
