Spine Unit
The Spine Unit specialises in the treatment and research of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions for this type of pathology. Specialists employ methods and techniques, such as diagnostic imaging, to minimise surgical risks and ensure the best possible treatment and rapid recovery.
Back pain
Back pain can result from various conditions, including:
- Muscle injuries: Back pain can be caused by muscle injuries due to physical exertion or poor posture.
- Spinal disc injuries: Intervertebral discs are the cushions that cushion the vertebrae. When they become worn or damaged, they can cause back pain.
- Arthritis: Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis are two primary causes of back pain. Both conditions affect the joints, leading to inflammation and pain.
- Scoliosis: Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine that can cause back pain.
- Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal that can cause back pain and leg weakness.
Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include physiotherapy, medication, injections, and, in severe cases, surgery. It is important to consult a specialist to determine the cause of the pain and receive appropriate treatment.
