SPINAL PROBLEMS

Spinal problems can arise from degeneration, fracture, and abnormalities. Some common spinal problems include:

• Spinal Stenosis: Spinal stenosis is a spinal problem when the spaces between spinal cord starts to shrink, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.

• Cervical Spondylosis: The cervical spine is sensitive and as people become older, it becomes prone to natural wear and tear leading to alterations in its structure and functioning, known as cervical spondylosis.

• Slipped Disc: Vertebrae in the spine are separated by cushions called discs that prevent scraping. As one grows old, these cushions start to dry out, putting excessive pressure on the back and causing the soft inner material to protrude out of the disc. This condition is called a slipped disc.
