Osteoporosis

This disease is characterized by loss of bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue, which leads to bone fragility and increased susceptibility to fractures of the fracturespine, hip, and wrist.

Ankylosing Spondylitis

Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a type of progressive arthritis that leads to chronic inflammation of the spine and sacroiliac joints.

Fractures


The bones, or vertebrae, that make up your spine are very strong, but sometimes a vertebra can fracture just like any other bone in your body.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Many of the problems in the spine are caused because of the process of degeneration of the intervertebral disc.

Herniated Disc


A herniated disc occurs when the intervertebral disc's outer fibers (the annulus) are damaged and the soft inner material of the nucleus pulposus ruptures out of its normal space.

Low Back Pain

fracture
Low back pain is a very common complaint for a simple reason. Since the lumbar spine is connected to your pelvis, this is where most of your weight bearing and body movement takes place.

Neck Pain

Most neck pain is due to degenerative changes that occur in the neck. The overall condition of the cervical spine usually determines how fast you recover from an injury, and whether your neck pain will become a chronic problem.

Stenosis

Spinal stenosis is term commonly used to describe a narrowing of the spinal canal.

Sacroiliac Joint Syndrome

The sacroiliac joint (SI joint) is one of two joints in your pelvis that connect the tailbone (the sacrum) and the large pelvic bone (the ilium). The SI joints connect your spine to the pelvis, and thus, the entire lower half of the skeleton.

Scoliosis

It is natural for the spine to curve forward and backward to a certain degree; this is what gives the spine its "S"-like shape. However, when a person's spine twists and develops an "S" -shaped side-to-side/lateral curve, it is a condition known as scoliosis.
