  1. Cervical Spine Disease is the breakdown of the intervertebral discs that cushion the vertebrae in the neck and is the most common cause of neck and radiating arm pain.
  2. Thoracic Spine Disease refers to the degeneration of the shock-absorbing intervertebral discs that cushion the vertebrae in the upper and middle back.
  3. Lumbar Spine Disease in the lower back, refers to a syndrome in which age-related degeneration on a spinal disc causes low back pain.
  4. Collapsed Disc will destabilize the spine and hinder the discs’ ability to protect vertebrae and cause a disc to collapse or lose height. As we age, natural disc degeneration can cause discs to tear or slip out of place.
