Spine Conditions

Any changes in the normal structure of your spine can cause pain, muscle weakness and loss of range of motion in your extremities. Whether the structural damage comes from normal wear and tear, injury or disease, the spinal condition that develops negatively affects your quality of life.

Your spine consists of vertebrae, discs, muscles, tendons, fascia and spinal nerves. When bones grate against each other or discs collapse, sensitive nerves are squeezed, pinched or irritated, leading to severe pain and other debilitating symptoms. Spinal conditions may affect your ability to walk, work, sit or do simple daily tasks. At Premier Brain & Spine, in New Jersey and New York, a spine specialist discovers the cause and treats it thoroughly.

Your spine has many different parts, each of which is vulnerable to injury and disease. Additionally, your neck, the most flexible part of your spine, is under different stresses than your lower back, which is the area of the spine that carries most of your weight. Top orthopedic spinal doctors carry out diagnostic tests to identify the cause of your pain and other symptoms. Some of the most common spinal conditions include:

• A herniated disc
• Radiculopathy
• Stenosis
• Sciatica
• Degenerative disc disease
• Spinal cord injuries
• Kyphosis
• Scoliosis
• Spondylosis
• Spondylolisthesis
