What is Spinal Disorders?

- Spinal Stenosis — narrowing of the spinal canal that compresses nerves
- Degenerative Disc Disease — wear and tear of spinal discs over time
- Scoliosis — abnormal sideways curvature of the spine
- Sciatica — nerve pain radiating from the lower back to the legs
- Osteoporosis-related fractures
