Spinal pain

Cervical spondylitis is an autoimmune disease of the upper (cervical) spine.

If you have experienced back pain that lasts for 3 months or more, it is referred to as chronic.

The discs in your back can become worn or be injured causing the soft centre of the disc to push out of its normal space.

If there is a build-up of chemicals in your kidneys, tiny crystals can form. Several crystals can clump together to form a kidney stone.

Myelopathy is a condition where the spinal cord becomes narrow or compressed. Often myelopathy is caused by degenerative changes such as stenosis, herniated disc or spinal injury.

The dorsal root ganglion is the area of a spinal nerve that connects the nerve to your spine. This area sends impulses from nerves to your spinal cord.

Osteoporotic fractures occur when the vertebrae (small bones in your spine) weaken. Fractures can occur due to a fall or other trauma.
