Stay aware of major spinal problems

Say thanks to God if you are standing straight and having no spinal problems until now. Also, be thankful for your spine, a stack of little bones named as vertebrae that makes you get your posture right. It supports your head, shoulders, and upper body. The vertebrae work like a tunnel or a pipe for your spinal cord, which is a set of nerves that connects your whole body movement directed by your head.

Cervical Spondylitis

This is the condition that may occur as a gradual breakdown in the neck due to the old age factor. Due to this condition, you may face a slipped disk problem, or the vertebrae may develop extra bone in the form of the spur to try to boost strength.

Osteoarthritis

The slippery tissue at the end of vertebrae helps our back flex without friction issues. If the same gets rough due to bad diet, it can make your back painful and stiff.

Slipped Disk

It's a natural cushioning called disk that supports each of the vertebrae, so they don’t scrape against each other. As you get older, your disks get weaker and lose lubrication and do not allow you to weigh them much. A herniated disk is the medical term or name given to it.

Spinal Stenosis

Do you know that your spine is a kind of tunnel, which carries your spinal cord to your brain? Whenever this space shrinks at any part of the spine, your vertebrae can press against your nerves. This condition is termed as Spinal Stenosis and Osteoarthritis is the most common cause of this condition.

Tumour

Lung, prostate, and bone cancers are likely to reach your spine. Apart from cancer conditions, your body can create spine tumour too. You may start feeling numb in your hand and legs or a part of the body could be paralyzed due to tumour. In tumour condition, your doctor may recommend surgery, radiation, and chemo.

Kyphosis

Kyphosis is a condition in which your spine bends forward. This condition happens when the vertebrae crack or mash down. Apart from pain, it can transform your whole structure in bad shape.

Scoliosis

It is a condition that can twist your spine to a bad shape. It is more common in children before the age of puberty. In acute conditions, a brace may help to rectify the condition or surgery may be required in critical condition.

Spinal Cord Injury

A car crash, sports injury, or any other incident may lead to spinal cord injury. Some bad spinal injuries may cut off the blood supply and the reason the brain can stop functioning.

Spondylolisthesis

Spondylolisthesis is the main cause of lower back pain and this condition occurs when the vertebrae slide sideways. Young people get more affected by this condition because they take part in sports activities.

Ankylosing Spondylitis

This kind of spondylitis starts spreading from the lower back to your hips. Over time, it can spread to other parts of your spine and organs. Young men are more prone to have this problem than women. Early treatment is the best way to slow down the process.
