Know Your Spine

Spine Anatomy

The spine is the central support structure of the body, providing stability, flexibility, and protection for the spinal cord. It consists of a series of vertebrae connected by intervertebral discs, ligaments, muscles, and joints that work together to support movement and maintain posture.

A healthy spine allows smooth movement of the neck, back, and trunk while protecting the nerves that travel between the brain and the rest of the body. Problems affecting the spine can lead to pain, stiffness, nerve compression, and reduced mobility.

Vertebrae

The vertebrae form the spinal column, providing structural support and protecting the spinal cord.

Intervertebral Discs

Discs act as shock absorbers between vertebrae, helping maintain flexibility and reducing impact.

Spinal Cord & Nerves

The spinal cord and nerve roots transmit signals between the brain and the rest of the body.

Muscles & Ligaments

Supporting muscles and ligaments stabilize the spine and enable controlled movement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to some of the most common questions about back pain, neck pain, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, spine surgery and orthopedic spine care.

What are the most common causes of back pain?

Back pain can result from muscle strains, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, arthritis, poor posture, injuries, or age-related changes in the spine. A thorough evaluation can help identify the underlying cause and guide appropriate treatment.

When should I see a spine specialist for back or neck pain?

You should consult a spine specialist if your symptoms persist for more than a few weeks, interfere with daily activities, radiate into the arms or legs, cause weakness or numbness, or develop after an injury.

What is a herniated disc?

A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner portion of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer. This can irritate nearby nerves and cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the neck, back, arms, or legs.

What causes sciatica?

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes compressed or irritated, often due to a lumbar herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or other spinal conditions. Symptoms may include pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness that travels down the leg.

When is spine surgery recommended?

Spine surgery may be recommended when non-surgical treatments fail to provide relief or when significant nerve compression, spinal instability, fractures, deformities, or severe degenerative conditions are present. Treatment recommendations are based on each patient's specific condition and symptoms.

What is minimally invasive spine surgery?

Minimally invasive spine surgery uses specialized instruments and smaller incisions to treat spinal conditions while reducing tissue disruption. This approach may help decrease postoperative pain, shorten recovery time, and minimize scarring compared with traditional open surgery.
