Degenerated Disc- Herniated Lumbar Disc
Definition
Disck connects the upper and lower vertebral body to maintain the stability of the spine. This disease breaks out when the disc tissue ruptures and is pushed out to stimulate the nerve root or the dura mater of spinal cord.

Ruptured Cervical Disk
Definition
The disk that absorbs the shock between the cervical vertebral pressures the nerve passing the neck and occurs this disease.

Spinal Canal Stenosis
Definition
Spinal canal is a canal that the spinal cord goes through from brain to legs and arms. When something happens to narrow the spinal canal in the middle of the spine, nerve root, or the intervertedvral foramen, it brings out back pain or various complex nerve symptoms. It is called the Spinal Canal Stenosis.

Cause
- In case of a congenital narrow lumbar, the time the person turns his/her 30’s when the degenerating changes starts, the change of the bone and tendon overlaps amd the disease breaks out. The spinal degeneration ostarthritis makes the tendon and joints thick and the disk gets projected, cramping the space of the nerve and there for this disease occurs.
- Spondylolisthesis, Post-surgery Complications, abnormal adhesion after fracture, etc.

Symptoms
- Confused due to similar symptoms as disc
- Repeated occurrence of pain in the leg while walking, and symptoms improve when rested
- Cannot straighten out the back while sleeping, and the patient ends up curling

Epidural Leakage
Definition
This can often happen especially to osteoporosis patients, people of old age, or women going through menopause. The disease occurs when the spine bone crushes and flattened by a strong shock or an external injury.
This can often happen especially to osteoporosis patients, people of old age, or women going through menopause. The disease occurs when the spine bone crushes and flattened by a strong shock or an external injury.
Cause
- Occurs by a light external injury in case of osteoporosis
- External shock
- Unbalanced nutrition, due to bad eating habit
- Women going through menapause. With low bone density, the bone can be weak.

Symptoms
- Uneasy to move, painful when getting up or walking
- No specific symptom with the bone fracture, but as the fracture gets serious the pain reveals itself.
- Backache when moving lying down.
- Weak back, the body bends forward.
- Severe back pain that makes it hard to breathe.

Cervical Vertebral Stenosis
Definition
This can be confused with a neck disk; it occurs when the cervical vertebral gets narrowed by various causes which pushes down the nerve and brings pain.
