Low back pain is caused by injury to a muscle (strain) or ligament (sprain). Common causes include improper lifting, poor posture, lack of regular exercise, fracture, ruptured disk, or arthritis. Often, the only symptom is pain in the lower back. Most low back pain goes away on its own in two to four weeks. Physical therapy and pain relievers can help. A few cases may require surgery.
Neck pain is a common complaint. Neck muscles can be strained from poor posture — whether it leaning over your computer or hunching over your workbench. Osteoarthritis also is a common cause of neck pain. Rarely, neck pain can be a symptom of a more serious problem. Seek medical care if your neck pain is accompanied by numbness or loss of strength in your arms or hands or if you have shooting pain into your shoulder or down your arm.
The spine is the most common and the most dangerous site for skeletal tuberculosis. It takes two forms: (1) In the first, the patient's general symptoms are mild. The infection usually starts in the anterior part of a disc, and spreads to the adjacent surface of the body of a vertebra, or to two adjacent ones. It seldom involves his neural arches. The result is that, as the bodies of his vertebrae collapse, his spine angles forwards to produce a kyphus (an increase in the normal convex curve of the spine: a scoliosis is a lateral curvature). The shape of his spinal deformity depends on how many of his vertebrae are diseased. Commonly, as his deformity gets worse, a sharp angle (the gibbus) appears. Uncommonly, the destruction is not symmetrical, so that his spine rotates. (2) In the second form his general symptoms are more severe, several of his vertebrae are involved widely in his spine (including perhaps some in his neck), and his disc spaces may not be narrowed.
A spinal tumor is a growth that develops within your spinal canal or within the bones of
your spine. It may be cancerous or noncancerous. Tumors that affect the bones of the
spine (vertebrae) are known as vertebral tumors. Tumors that begin within the spinal
cord itself are called spinal cord tumors. There are two main types of tumors that may
affect the spinal cord :
Intramedullary tumors
Extramedullary tumors
