Our spine isá formed by 26 bones that are named after vévertebrae. These are intended to protectóno to the méspinal game, while allowing us to stand or bend when we want.
There are some types of diseases or ailments that can affect the spinal area, and that can have various factors cómo: tissue wear óseo, injury, prepare usón genética, adopt inappropriate postures, tumors, etc.
Many of these diseases cause pain, since they produce changes óossicles that compress the area of the médula or nerves. Depending on the severity of the disease, spaghettiécan'tístill affect movement.
Depending on the ailment, the treatment will beá very varied: may include from the use of orthopedic devicesétips, even complicated surgical interventionsúrgicas.
Sin más preácover up, we are going to analyze the main injuries or diseases of the spine:

Main injuries or diseases of the spine
ankylosing spondylitis
This ailment has some sísymptoms very similar to inflammatory arthritis. It has been concluded that the predispositionón genéEthics is one of the main causes of the presence of the disease (that is to say, what if the parents have it, it is possible that the children inherit it).
It is characterized by causing the fusión of the bones in the spinal area, what to produceá that a certain rigidity is generated that makes movement difficult.
The sísymptoms of ankylosing spondylitis include pain in the sacrum area, in the shoulder area, hip joints, péloss of motion, chest pains, affections of ímuscular nature, It is the most severe form of primordial dwarfism.…
Spondylosis (spinal osteoarthritis)
It is a degenerative disease, for what is máIt is common to occur in the elderly. It is characterized by a reductionón of the space between the vévertebrae. CóThis space is not compressed, this tooéto affectá to nerve endings, causing intermittent pain in this area.
These are the main sísymptoms of spondylosis: Pain in the shoulder area, in the neck, back, arms and even legs, loss of balance, problems in the digestive system or even problems in the circulationón of the blood streamíneo in those cases más graves.
Spinal arachnoiditis
This disorder is usually much más grave, and I don't knowóI know how to present itáno pain in the spine area (cómo in the above conditions), if not that these goán associated with neurol problemsógicos. In the area in which isá including the brain and the vertebral column there are some elements known cóarachnoid mo. This disorder causes the arachnoids to become inflamed, producing irritation.ón and different conditions, both in nerve endings, cómo in the blood vesselsíneos.
The sísymptoms of spinal arachnoiditis are as follows: General weakness, numbness in the legs, pain in the lower back, shooting pains in the legs, cramps, spasms… I can evenían make manifest the síirritable bowel syndrome or sexual problems.
Deformón de Chiari
This malformationón refers to a conditionópart of the body in which the brain's own tissues areán located in the same channel of the méspinal game.
This conditionón can be produced from the very birth, or be an affectionón congénice to goá developing over time.
The sísymptoms of malformationón Chiari's are quite severe: sharp pain in the neck area, a sensationóno sharp (due to understandingón to experienceán the nerve endings in the upper neck and spine), or the interruptionón of the blood streamíneo, what i will doá that it is impossible for it to reach certain points during specific moments.
Coxidinia
Coccydynia is a disorder that affects the inner area of the coccyx, that is to say, to the structure that communicates directly with the vertebral column in the m areaás baja.
There are many factors that can lead to this disorder, cóI'm a trauma, a caíand, or always do the same exercise (for instance, ride a bike repeatedly).
Spaghettién may be caused by injuries that occurred at the time of delivery, or after certain bones have been fractured.
Nevertheless, spaghettiéit will not be possibleíto present spontaneouslyáwithout any of the aforementioned conditions having occurred.
The síntomas of Coccydynia mainly affect sensitivity: both the tendon area, cómo that of the ligaments, they will start to be más sensitive and this will causeá a significant increase in pain.
Cáncer
It is possible that some types of cáncer produce significant disorders in the area of the vertebral column.
Lo más común is that met has occurredástasis of cáncer, and that this has reached the bones, or that he suffers from melanoma múmultiple.
if the cáncer affects the structure ósea, it is possible that tooédoes not affect the vertebral structure.
The Cégo disease lulasán progressively weakening the bones, until they lose density. The result of this process is an increased chance of experiencing a fracture..
Fracture
if the méspinal cord is abnormally compressed, this can generate the presence of certain wounds. Lo máIt is usual that they appear after a trauma or a severe accident, especially if all the force has fallenívertically in the area of the column and/or if some veins are brokenévertebrae.
If a fracture is suffered, it will riseán the chances that they occurños in the nervous structures of at leastétip, it can even be possibleíto suffer in pairálysis in the area of the legs or arms.
The pain experienced in these cases is very acute, almost unbearable, affecting the area in which it isá including the fracture, but not to the surrounding nerves.
Lumbago
Lumbago can be defined cósuch as the presence of severe pain in the lower back area.
The causes más likely are spondylosis, rheumatoid arthritis, scoliosis, spinal stenosis or tumors.
