About the disease & condition

Back and spine disorders encompass conditions affecting the spinal column, leading to pain, nerve compression, and limited movement. Common issues include sciatica, cervical spondylosis, and disc prolapse. These disorders often result from age-related degeneration, herniated discs, poor posture, or trauma. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging such as MRI or X-ray, and occasionally nerve conduction studies. Management focuses on pain relief, physiotherapy, ergonomic adjustments, posture correction, and strengthening exercises to prevent complications like chronic pain, nerve damage, and reduced mobility.

Known Symptoms

Persistent back or neck pain affecting daily activities.
Radiating pain, numbness, or tingling in arms or legs.
Stiffness and limited range of motion in the spine.
Occasional muscle weakness or spasms in affected areas.

Known Causes

Age-related degeneration of spinal discs and joints.
Herniated or slipped discs causing nerve compression.
Poor posture leading to chronic spinal strain.
Trauma or repetitive strain injuries from physical activities.

Care

Maintain proper posture and strengthen core muscles regularly.
Avoid prolonged sitting and lifting heavy objects improperly.
Attend physiotherapy sessions for mobility and pain management.
Use ergonomic chairs and supports, and adjust workstations correctly.
