Spinal Diseases
Spinal diseases are disorders that affect the spine, the flexible yet strong column of bones and ligaments that supports the upper body. These often long-term conditions can cause pain, numbness, weakness and loss of muscular control. They can also lead to other health problems like incontinence, constipation and difficulty breathing. Treatments vary greatly, depending on the type and severity of the disease, but may include medication, surgery and physical therapy. Spinal diseases can occur at any age, but are more common in older people, and can have a major impact on quality of life. Early diagnosis and treatment is key to achieving a good outcome.
