Spine Diseases

Spine diseases refer to a range of conditions affecting the spinal column, which houses the spinal cord and supports the body. Common issues include herniated discs (when discs between vertebrae bulge out), scoliosis (an abnormal curvature of the spine), and spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal). These conditions can cause pain, weakness, and mobility problems. Orthopedic specialists diagnose and treat spine diseases using various methods, including physical therapy, medication, and sometimes surgery, aiming to relieve symptoms and improve function while restoring the spine's health and stability.
