MUSCULOSKELETAL

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a group of more than 150 conditions that can affect the muscles, joints, bones, ligaments, tendons, nerves, cartilage, and spinal discs. MSDs can range from short-lived conditions like sprains, strains, and fractures to long-term conditions like osteoarthritis and chronic back pain. They can cause pain and limit movement, and are a leading cause of disability in the United States.

Lumbar Spine

Lumbar spine disease can refer to a number of conditions that affect the lower back, including: Lumbar disc disease and Lumbar spinal stenosis.

Radiculopathy

Radiculopathy, also known as a pinched nerve, is a condition that occurs when a nerve root in the spine is pinched or damaged. The pinched nerve can occur in different areas of the spine, including the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar regions. Symptoms vary by location but often include: Pain, Weakness, Numbness, Loss of sensation, and Problems controlling the bladder or bowel.

Cervical Spine

The cervical spine, also known as the neck, is the first seven vertebrae (C1-C7) of the spinal column, or backbone. It extends from just below the skull to just above the thoracic spine and is more mobile than other parts of the spine.

Neuropathy

Neuropathy, also known as peripheral neuropathy, is a group of conditions that result from nerve damage in the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system is made up of nerves that send information from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body, including sensory information to the skin and muscles, and involuntary functioning to organs like the heart and stomach.

Sciatic Nerve

The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the human body, running from the lower back down the back of each leg to the heel of the foot. It's a mixed nerve, meaning it has both sensory and motor fibers, and provides sensation and controls muscles in the thigh, leg, and foot.
