Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis Treatment Guidelines

Risk factors for DISH include aging (particularly over age 50), obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and a genetic predisposition. Men are also more commonly affected than women.

DISH is managed through physical therapy to maintain mobility, pain relief with analgesics and NSAIDs, and lifestyle modifications like weight management. In severe cases, surgical intervention may be necessary.

The progression of DISH is typically slow and gradual, with symptoms worsening over years or even decades. However, the rate of progression can vary significantly between individuals.
