Neck Pain

Cervical radiculopathy occurs when a nerve root in the neck becomes compressed or irritated, often due to a herniated disc or bone spur. This can cause pain, numbness, or weakness that radiates from the neck into the shoulder, arm, or hand.

Cervical Radiculopathy

Degenerative disc disease occurs when the spinal discs that cushion the vertebrae wear down over time, losing hydration and flexibility. This breakdown can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility in the neck or lower back.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Spondylosis refers to age-related wear and tear affecting the spinal discs and joints, a general form of spinal osteoarthritis. It can cause stiffness, pain, and in some cases, nerve compression as the condition progresses.

Spondylosis

Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spaces within the spine, which can put pressure on the nerves that travel through it. This often results in pain, numbness, or weakness in the back, legs, or arms depending on where the narrowing occurs.

Spinal Stenosis

Arthritis is inflammation of one or more joints, causing pain, stiffness, and swelling that can worsen over time. It's an umbrella term covering many forms, with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis being among the most common.

Arthritis

Cervicalgia is the medical term for neck pain, which can stem from muscle strain, poor posture, joint dysfunction, or underlying spinal conditions. It often presents as stiffness or aching that may limit range of motion.

Cervicalgia

Disk herniation occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in its tougher outer layer. This can irritate nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the back, neck, or radiating into the limbs.

Disk Herniation

Facet joint pain arises from the small joints that connect vertebrae and allow the spine to bend and twist. When these joints become inflamed or degenerate, they can cause localized pain, especially with movement or extension of the spine.

Facet Joint Pain

Occipital neuralgia is caused by irritation or injury to the occipital nerves, which run from the upper neck to the scalp. It produces sharp, shooting, or throbbing pain at the base of the skull that can radiate toward the front of the head.

Occipital Neuralgia

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, occurring when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of bones gradually wears down. This leads to joint pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion, most often in the knees, hips, and spine.

Osteoarthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, causing inflammation, pain, and swelling. Over time, it can lead to joint damage and affect other organs in the body.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Myofascial pain arises from trigger points within tight bands of muscle, causing localized or referred pain in the surrounding area. It's often linked to muscle overuse, injury, or chronic tension.

Myofascial Pain

Back Pain

Low back pain is one of the most common pain conditions, often caused by muscle strain, disc issues, or joint dysfunction in the lumbar spine. It can range from a mild, temporary ache to chronic pain that limits daily function.

Low Back Pain

Spinal Stenosis

Failed back syndrome (also called post-laminectomy syndrome) refers to persistent or recurring back pain following spinal surgery that didn't achieve the intended relief. It can result from scar tissue, nerve damage, or issues at levels adjacent to the original surgery.

Failed Back Syndrome

A compressed vertebra occurs when one of the spinal bones collapses or fractures, often due to trauma, osteoporosis, or disease. This can cause sudden or chronic back pain, and in severe cases, changes in posture or height.

Compressed Vertebra

Vertebral compression fractures occur when a spinal bone cracks or collapses, most often due to osteoporosis, trauma, or tumors. This can cause sudden back pain, loss of height, or a stooped posture.

Vertebral Compression Fractures

Sacroiliac joint pain originates from the joints connecting the spine to the pelvis, which can become inflamed or dysfunctional. It typically causes pain in the lower back, buttocks, or hips, often worsened by standing, walking, or climbing stairs.

Sacroiliac Joint Pain

Coccydynia is pain in and around the tailbone (coccyx), often triggered by prolonged sitting, injury, or childbirth. The pain typically worsens with sitting or transitioning from sitting to standing.

Coccydynia

Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become weak and brittle due to loss of bone density and tissue. This increases the risk of fractures and can contribute to chronic pain, particularly in the spine.

Facet Joint Pain

Post laminectomy syndrome refers to ongoing pain after spinal decompression surgery, even when the procedure was technically successful. It can result from nerve changes, scar tissue formation, or new degeneration near the surgical site.

Post Laminectomy Syndrome

Lumbar radiculopathy, commonly known as sciatica, occurs when a nerve root in the lower back is compressed or irritated. It causes pain that radiates from the lower back through the hip and down the leg, often accompanied by numbness or tingling.

Lumbar Radiculopathy/Sciatica

Spondylolisthesis occurs when a vertebra slips out of place and shifts over the bone below it, often in the lower back. This misalignment can compress nerves and cause pain, stiffness, or leg symptoms.

Spondylolisthesis
