Sciatica Pain: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment
Sciatica is nerve pain that travels from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down one leg. It usually affects one side of the body and develops when a herniated disc, bone spur, or spinal narrowing (stenosis) presses on the sciatic nerve, causing inflammation, sharp or burning pain, tingling, or numbness.

Herniated & Bulging Discs: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment
Soft discs between the vertebrae of your spine allow flexibility, twisting, and bending. When a disc’s inner material pushes through its outer layer, it can result in a herniated or bulging disc. This may press against spinal nerves, causing pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness in different parts of the body depending on the disc location.
Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD): Causes, Symptoms & Treatment
Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) is a condition where the intervertebral discs that cushion and allow movement between spinal vertebrae gradually wear down. This natural aging process can cause pain and limit flexibility, most often affecting the lower back or neck. While common with age, certain lifestyle and health factors can speed up this degeneration.
Cancer of the Spine Pain

What is Ankylosing Spondylitis?
Ankylosing spondylitis is a type of disease involving inflamed joints of the spine, causing mild bouts of back pain and stiffness. In severe cases, it leads to some of the bones of the spine (called vertebrae) to fuse – this is called bamboo spine (see below x-ray for example). The fused vertebrae causes the spine to become less flexible and ultimately lead to a hunched posture and rigidity.
