The spine stands as a complex structure composed of vertebrae, intervertebral discs, nerves, and ligaments, essential for stability, mobility, and spinal cord protection. Within this intricate framework lie various disorders, spanning from congenital anomalies to degenerative ailments and traumatic injuries. Among the commonly encountered issues are herniated discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, kyphosis, and spondylolisthesis, all of which manifest through symptoms like back pain, neck pain, and radiating discomfort into the limbs, alongside weakness and numbness. Left untreated, these disorders can progress, leading to neurological deficits and severe impairment of quality of life. Treatment modalities of spine and spinal disorders range from conservative measures such as physical therapy, medication, and injections to surgical interventions like spinal fusion, laminectomy, and discectomy, aimed at alleviating pain, decompressing neural structures, and restoring function. With advancements, minimally invasive techniques now offer improved outcomes, marked by smaller incisions and quicker recovery.
