Common Spine Conditions
- Degenerative Disc Disease – Over time, spinal discs wear down, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
- Herniated Disc – When the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer, it can press on nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness.
- Pinched Nerve – Compression of a nerve in the spine can result in radiating pain, weakness, and tingling sensations.
- Sciatica – Pressure on the sciatic nerve can cause pain that radiates from the lower back down the legs.
- Spinal Arthritis – Wear and tear on the spine’s joints can cause inflammation, stiffness, and pain.
- Spinal Cord Trauma – Injuries to the spinal cord can affect movement, sensation, and overall function.
- Spinal Fractures – Broken vertebrae caused by trauma or osteoporosis can lead to severe pain and instability.
- Spinal Infections – Bacterial or viral infections affecting the spine can result in pain and nerve damage.
- Spinal Stenosis – The narrowing of the spinal canal can put pressure on nerves, leading to pain, numbness, and weakness.
- Spinal Tumors – Abnormal growths within or around the spine can cause pain and neurological problems.
- Scoliosis (Adult) – A sideways curvature of the spine that can cause discomfort, posture issues, and breathing difficulties.
- Spondylolisthesis – A condition where a vertebra slips out of place, leading to pain and nerve compression.
