Spinal muscular atrophy is a genetic disorder characterized by weakness and wasting (atrophy) in muscles used for movement (skeletal muscles).
Osteoporosis is a bone disease that occurs when the body loses too much bone, makes too little bone, or both.
Lumbar Spinal Stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal, compressing the nerves traveling through the lower back into the legs.
Spine deformity can happen when unnatural curvature occurs, as in scoliosis (side-to-side curvature) or kyphosis and Scheuermann’s disease (front-to-back curvature).
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that occurs most often during the growth spurt just before puberty.
Degenerative disc disease in the lumbar spine can cause pain in the lower back, hips, and legs. Painful disc degeneration is common in the neck (cervical spine) and lower back (lumbar spine).
Conditions commonly linked to back pain include: Muscle or ligament strain. Repeated heavy lifting or a sudden awkward movement can strain back muscles and spinal ligaments.
