Back & Neck Pain
Back and neck pain are called a variety of different names, including sciatica, lumbago, and general backache. In 2019, the Australian Institute for Health and Welfare reported that around 4 million Australians were affected by back pain, making up for over 4% of the country’s total disease burden.
Disc Replacement
Your spine is made up of 33 vertebrae, each separated by a shock absorbing known as an invertebral disc. As these discs undergo wear and tear over the course of a lifetime or due to trauma, they can become damaged and put unnecessary and painful pressure on the nerve roots. This may eventually may warrant surgical intervention.
Spine Trauma
Spine trauma occurs when the vertebrae of the spine are manipulated in a way which damages them. This can happen in diving accidents, car accidents, or even seemingly insignificant falls or bumps under the right circumstances. In individuals with osteoporosis or other bone weakening conditions, spinal trauma can also happen gradually through regular activity.
Cancer of the Spine
Two types of cancer can occur in the spine: a primary cancer or a metastatic cancer which originates from another site in the body. If left untreated, they can eventually invade and destroy surrounding tissue structures and result in permanent and severe consequences including paralysis and death.
