Spine Conditions
- Neck Pain
Common neck pain may occur from muscle strain or tension in everyday activities including poor posture, prolonged use of a computer and sleeping in an uncomfortable position.
Know More - Whiplash
Whiplash is a soft tissue injury to the neck, usually caused by a sudden forceful jerk commonly occurring because of an automobile accident, sports injuries, or an accidental fall. Sometimes whiplash may also be referred to as neck strain, neck sprain or hyperextension injury.
Know More - Back Pain
Back pain or backache is the pain felt in the back that may originate from muscles, nerves, bones, joints or other structures in the spine.
Know More - Lumbar Radiculopathy
If back pain radiates to the legs because of spinal nerve compromise, it is referred to as lumbar radiculopathy or sciatica. Lumbar radiculopathy can be extremely debilitating and interferes with your daily activities.
Know More - Degenerative Disc Disease
Degenerative disc disease (DDD) refers to gradual deterioration of the intervertebral discs between the vertebrae.
Know More - Disc Herniation
The intervertebral discs are flat and round, present between vertebrae and act as shock absorbers when you walk or run. If they herniate, nerve root compromise (radiculopathy) can result.
Know More - Facet joint Arthritis
Facet joints, also called zygapophyseal joints, are located at the back of the spine which connects the vertebrae together.Everyone eventually develops arthritis of these joints, which can (but don’t always) cause neck or back pain.
Know More - Spondylolysis
Spondylolysis is a stress fracture of vertebra that may progress into spondylolisthesis, a condition of displacement of vertebrae from the spinal column.
Know More - Spondylolisthesis
Spondylolisthesis is the displacement of vertebral disc from the spinal column. Outward (forward) displacement is termed as anterolisthesis and inward (backward) displacement is termed as retrolisthesis. This condition is often preceded by spondylolysis, a degenerative condition of the vertebra.
Know More - Vertebral Compression Fractures
Back pain is an indication of stress fractures known as vertebral compression fractures.
Know More - Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a condition characterized by abnormal curvature of the spine causing a deviation to one side.
Know More - Kyphosis
Kyphosis is a condition of abnormal curvature of the spine that causes rounding of the upper back or a hunchback.
Know More - Cervical Disc Herniation
Herniation is a condition characterized by leakage of the inner contents of the intervertebral disc, due to cracks in its outer wall. In the cervical spine, this can lead to pain in the neck and/or arm.
Know More - Lumbar Disc Herniation
Lumbar disc herniation cause of low back and leg pain (sciatica).
Know More - Cervical Radiculopathy/Myelopathy
Nerve compromise in the cervical spine can affect the upper extremity or even the legs and bladder control.
Know More - Cervical Stenosis
Cervical stenosis refers narrowing of the spinal cord in the cervical region (neck).
Know More - Lumbar Stenosis
Lumbar stenosis is the compression of spinal nerves caused by narrowing of the spinal canal in the low back.
