Spinal Disorders

Lower back pain is a common ailment that affects the lumbar region of the spine. Sciatica is a condition where pain radiates from the lower back down to the legs. Lumbago is a term used to describe general lower back pain.

Neck pain is discomfort in the cervical region of the spine. Spondylitis and spondylosis are both types of arthritis that affect the vertebrae in the neck. Spondylitis causes inflammation in the joints between the vertebrae, while spondylosis is a degenerative condition that results in the formation of bone spurs and the breakdown of discs.

Kyphosis is a condition where the thoracic spine curves outward, causing a hump-like appearance in the upper back. It is often associated with osteoporosis and can lead to back pain and difficulty breathing.

Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves sideways. It can be congenital or develop during childhood or adolescence. Piriformis syndrome is a condition where the piriformis muscle in the buttocks compresses the sciatic nerve, causing pain in the lower back and legs.

Inter Vertebral Disc Prolapse, Protrusion, Extrusion, and herniation are all conditions that involve damage to the discs between the vertebrae. Prolapse and protrusion occur when the disc bulges out, while extrusion and herniation occur when the disc ruptures or breaks open. These conditions can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the back and legs.

Spondylolisthesis is a condition where one vertebra in the spine slips out of place onto the vertebra below it. It can cause back pain, muscle spasms, and sciatica.

Syringomyelia is a rare condition where a fluid-filled cyst forms within the spinal cord. It can cause pain, weakness, and stiffness in the back, as well as difficulty controlling the bladder and bowel.

Ankylosing spondylitis is a type of arthritis that affects the spine and can lead to the fusion of the vertebrae. It can cause back pain and stiffness, and can also affect other joints in the body.

Ankylosing spondylosis is a degenerative condition that results in the formation of bone spurs and the breakdown of discs in the spine. It can cause pain and stiffness in the back.

Dorsalgia is a term used to describe general back pain in the thoracic region of the spine.

Vertebral fracture is a type of spinal injury that can occur due to trauma or osteoporosis. It can cause severe pain and may require surgery to repair.
