Understanding Spine Conditions

The spinal column is made up of 33 vertebrae, intervertebral discs that act as shock absorbers, and a delicate bundle of nerves that includes the spinal cord and spinal nerves. Because of its complexity, even small injuries or degenerative changes can cause pain in multiple areas of the body, including the lower back, neck, and even the lower extremities. Common causes of spine problems include:

Degenerative changes (arthritis, disc wear, spinal stenosis)

Traumatic injuries and fractures

Congenital abnormalities (such as scoliosis or kyphosis)

Inflammatory diseases like ankylosing spondylitis

Herniated discs causing nerve compression

Poor posture, obesity, and sedentary lifestyles

This condition involves the gradual breakdown of the discs between vertebrae, which can lead to pain, inflammation, or herniation (bulging) of the disc into nearby nerves.

Most common in adults over 40, but younger people with back injuries or heavy physical activity may also be affected.
