What Is Spine Pain?

Spine pain refers to discomfort that originates within the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), or lumbar (lower back) regions of the spine. Pain may result from injury, aging, degenerative conditions, nerve compression, inflammation, or structural abnormalities.

Spine pain can range from mild discomfort to severe, debilitating symptoms that interfere with daily life and mobility.

Common Causes of Spine Pain

There are many potential causes of spinal pain, including:

• Herniated discs
• Bulging discs
• Degenerative disc disease
• Spinal stenosis
• Facet joint arthritis
• Sciatica
• Scoliosis
• Osteoarthritis
• Spinal injuries
• Muscle strains and sprains
• Nerve compression
• Failed back surgery syndrome
• Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction

A proper diagnosis is essential for determining the most effective treatment plan.
