spine disorders
What are the different spine disorders?
Broadly speaking spine disorders fall into four different categories. This is only a loose guide, since most spinal conditions are either developmental (acquired through subtle breakdown caused by the borderline viability of discs) or a complex amalgam of developmental conditions superimposed on traumatic, inflammatory and congenital.
Click each link below to read about each one:
• Degenerative Spine Disorders (acquired slowly through breakdown)
Stiff Spinal Segment: The pre-pathological disorder to DDD
Degenerative Disc Disease or DDD
The Prolapsed or 'Slipped' Disc
Traumatic Spine Disorders (accidental mishap)
Micro trauma of the outer disc wall
• Inflammatory Spine Disorders (systemic illnesses)
• Congenital Spine Disorders (inherited from birth)
Lumbarisation and Sacralisation
The world of bad backs is littered with startling diagnoses, usually made on the basis of X-ray, MRI or CT scans
