As a neuromuscular condition spina bifida is often connected to scoliosis, because around 50% of these patients also develop neuromuscular scoliosis.

Joint damage in the spine is the primary cause of bone spurs. These bony projections can appear anywhere in the spine due to different underlying causes.

When the intervertebral discs of the spine experience pressure of gravity over time, and begin to deteriorate, create what is known as multilevel degenerative disc disease.

A bulging disc is a disc that is protruding outwards in the spine. There is often an underlying cause of this condition and if it is not treated the disc can become herniated.

When thinking of the umbrella of spinal conditions that cause pain that involve spinal degeneration on multiple segments of the spine, this is a multilevel spondylosis.

When an excessive kyphosis develops, commonly known as roundback, that is when patients’ are at risk of a Dowager’s hump to appear.

When a spinal nerve is pinched is what we call "radiculopathy." Depending on where this spinal nerve is located the radiculopathy can be cervical, lumbar, or thoracic.

When facet joint arthritis happens is because the cartilage that covers the joints has begun to erode. This creates pain, swelling and overall inflammation of the joints.

Degenerative changes on the face joints of the spine cause the Facet Joint Syndrome. And a lack of fluid in the synovial fluid capsules create pain as friction increases.

The spine’s healthy curves must be maintained, when these healthy curves are lost what we know as “flatback syndrome” happens.

A front-to-back imbalance of the spine is what is known as a sagittal imbalance. It can be measured with an X-ray, and the best way to correct it is to follow treatment.

The spinal degeneration that happens due to arthritis is what we refer to as spondylosis. It can be confused with spondylolysis, but this one is the result of an injury.

Spondylosis is not a spinal condition. It relates to scoliosis and spinal degeneration. The patient’s lifestyle will be a major determinant of how severe it can be.

A bulging disc comes with a variety of symptoms. The most common is pain due to the compression of nearby nerves and the best way to improve it is to focus on treatment.

When a patient is diagnosed with a bulging disk, there are many non-surgical options that can be explored. The best way to treat it is to prevent disc deterioration.

Spinal degeneration treatment is often determined by its underlying causes. But the patient’s lifestyle plays a key role in its progression and degree of injury.

The treatment for herniated discs varies based on the symptoms the patient has and it can focus on nerve compression relief, pain relief, or to help muscle strength.

A herniated disc is the result of deterioration of the discs in the spine. This usually happens due to aging and strain in the spine over a patient’s lifetime.
