Lumbar, thoracic and cervical spine
Back problems are the most frequent cause of work absence and thus a tremendous economic cost factor. Today’s sedentary lifestyle can be just as much a factor as hard physical work. From tension and discomfort, to recurring episodes of low back pain, to more severe afflictions of the peripheral nervous system such as “slipped” (herniated) discs: each person has its unique history – early symptoms and warning signs should be taken seriously, and treated accordingly.
Most spinal problems reflect our postural habits, however there are exceptions, such as idiopathic scoliosis or several rheumatic diseases such as Bechterew’s Disease (a.k.a Ankylosing Spondylitis). Heavy compression (i.e. suffered in a fall) can cause vertebral fractures, which in elderly individuals suffering from osteoporosis often happen spontaneously, seemingly without reason.
