Spinal Abnormality : Spinal Disease, Deformity & Curvature

An abnormal spinal anatomy may result in the following conditions:

• Spondylosis (Osteo-Arthritis) : Spinal disease, associated with degenerative discs.

• Spondylolisthesis : Spondylolysis with a forward translation of the vertebra.

• Spinal Stenosis : Narrowing of the spinal canal, causing pressure on the spinal cord.

• Lateral Recess Stenosis : Stenosis mainly affect s the lumbar or cervical spinal cord.

• Disc Herniation : Slipped discs occur when a spinal disc splits or ruptures.

• Kyphosis : Progressive spinal disorder causing deformity, humpback or hunchback.

• Lordosis : Excessive inward curvature of the spine.

• Scoliosis : Abnormal sideways curvature of the spine.
