Spine Conditions
Low back pain is often a common symptom of many disease conditions and the back pain may range from simple or dull pain to sudden and sharp pain.
A fracture of the spine is a break in the bone continuity of the spinal vertebrae or vertebral column.
Vertebral Compression Fractures
Back pain is an indication of stress fractures known as vertebral compression fractures.
Disc herniation is one of the common causes of back pain. The intervertebral discs are flat and round, present between the vertebrae and act as shock absorbers when you walk or run.
Degenerative disc disease (DDD) refers to the gradual deterioration of the intervertebral discs between the vertebrae.
Spinal stenosis is a condition caused by the vertebral column constricting and exerting pressure on the spinal cord or neural foramen (a bony tunnel through which a nerve exits the spinal cord).
Facet joint arthritis, also known as facet joint syndrome, is a form of arthritis that affects the facet joints of the spine. This condition is related to the aging process.
When this passageway becomes compressed, the condition is termed as thoracic outlet syndrome. It generally occurs within the age group of 20 to 60 years and is more common in females than in males.
