About the Spine
The human spine plays an extremely important role in our bodies as it supports the upper body’s weight; provides posture while allowing for movement and flexibility; and protects the spinal cord.
The vertebrae are connected to each other through intervertebral discs. Each disc forms a joint to allow movement of the spine.Between the vertebrae are small spaces known as intervertebral canals that allow spinal nerves to exit the spinal cord and connect to the various regions of the body.

What are my Treatment Options?

With your physician you will be able to discuss treatment options appropriate for your individual situation. Back pain can often be treated with a combination of conservative treatments, such as manual therapy, exercise, medication and lifestyle changes. If symptoms do not improve with conservative treatment, or if symptoms are increasing or worsening, physicians may recommend spinal surgery.
A surgical technique known as Spinal Fusion is used to treat these disorders. Metal screws, rods and cages are used to fuse together two or more adjacent vertebrae. The aim is to stabilize the spine and stop the motion of spinal vertebral segments, and to relieve pain by eliminating pressure on the spinal cord or on the nerve roots.
