Cervical

Degenerative Disc Disease - Degenerative disc disease in the lumbar spine, or lower back, refers to a syndrome in which a compromised disc causes low back pain.
Cervical Disc Herniation - auses neck pain by compressing the cervical nerve roots
Cervical Myelopathy (CMS) - refers to impaired function of the spinal cord caused by degenerative changes of the discs and facet joints acquired in adult life.

Thoracic

Degenerative Disc Disease - Degenerative disc disease refers to any condition where the spinal discs are degenerating or degrading, often causing back pain.
Compression Fractures - In general, vertebral fractures are associated with both increased morbidity (unwanted side effects) and mortality (death).
Kyphosis - or “dowager’s hump,” is an unnatural curving of the upper back that creates a hunchback appearance in the posture, often associated with osteoporosis.
Scoliosis - describes an abnormal, side to side curvature of the spine. This video provides an overview of how scoliosis affects the spine and the body.

Lumbar

Degenerative Disc Disease - in the lumbar spine, or lower back, refers to a syndrome in which a compromised disc causes low back pain
Scoliosis - describes an abnormal, side to side curvature of the spine.
Kyphosis - or “dowager’s hump,” is an unnatural curving of the upper back that creates a hunchback appearance in the posture, often associated with osteoporosis.
Spinal Stenosis - with stenosis, facet joints in the spine can enlarge and place pressure on the spinal nerve roots or spinal cord, causing back pain, leg pain, arm pain and other symptoms during certain activities.
Spondylolisthesis - is a condition in which a defect in a part of the spine causes vertebra to slip to one side of the body.
Pars Defect - A pars defect is believed to be a stress fracture. A stress fracture happens from repeated strain on a bone. At first the body is able to heal the damage. If the repeated strains happen faster than the body can respond, the bone eventually fractures. People are not born with spondylolysis. It commonly first appears in childhood. Football linemen and gymnasts are affected the most.
Lumbar Disc Herniation - occurs when the disc degenerates and the inner core leaks out.
Sciatica - Sciatica describes symptoms that travel from the low back and produce leg pain.
