Painful conditions of the spine may be difficult to understand because often the pain is felt elsewhere, such as in your legs or buttocks. This pain is caused by pressure placed upon the nerves that pass through your spine and extend through the rest of your body.
We’ve seen how the healthy spine works to protect its own structure, including the spinal cord and the nerves that pass through it. We’ll now focus on some conditions that can compromise the normal structure of the spine resulting in nerve compression and pain:
-Degenerative Disc Disease
-Spondylolisthesis
-Stenosis
