A working list of what comes through the clinic most often, across both surgical and nonsurgical care.
Disc material presses on a nerve root, most often causing leg pain that outweighs the back pain.
L-spineThe canal narrows around the cord or nerves, typically giving pain and heaviness that ease on sitting or leaning forward.
L / C-spineOne vertebra has slipped forward on the one beneath it, usually with arthritic narrowing alongside.
L-spineA pinched nerve in the neck, felt as pain, numbness or weakness travelling down the arm.
C-spinePressure on the spinal cord itself. Hand clumsiness and a change in balance matter more here than pain does.
C-spineNarrowing of the neck's canal, watched closely or decompressed depending on what the cord is doing.
C-spineMovement between segments that has become abnormal, where holding the level still is part of the answer.
L / T-spineAge-related change in the disc, which becomes a problem only when it is genuinely the source of the symptoms.
L / C-spineMidline back pain arising from the vertebral endplate, identified on MRI by Modic change.
L-spineA herniation returning at a level already operated on, which changes what the next operation should be.
