The bony skeleton of the body supports and protects the soft tissue organs of the body. The bony skeleton is moved by the muscles and tendons of the body. The skull along with the spine forms the central axis of the bony skeleton and ankles the upper limbs and lower limbs. The spine is 33+34 vertebra in between which are 3 joints at a pre-level. there is an inter-vertebral disk in the front and 2 synovial disk at the back.
Spinal disfunction can occur because of: -
1. Prolapsed disc (microscopic and endoscopic discectomy)
2. Spondylolisthesis
3. Cervical and lumbar canal stenosis
4. Infection Spine
5. Deformity of spine (kyphosis and scoliosis)
6. Fracture of the spine
Disfunction of the spine can cause mal-alignment of the joint and pressure of the spinal cords and nerves.
Mal-alignment of the joints will cause local pain most probably due to muscle spasm.
Pressure on the spinal cord or nerves will cause numbness and weakness in the body or limbs and in severe cases will cause disfunction of the bladder and bowel.
