Congenital muscular torticollis, also called twisted neck or wry neck, is a condition in which an infant holds his or her head tilted to one side and has difficulty turning the head to the opposite side.

Congenital scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that is caused by a defect that was present at birth.

Sooner or later, your spinal discs – the shock absorbing pads between each vertebra – start to wear out. That can lead to degenerative disc disease (DDD).

Degenerative changes in the spine are often referred to those that cause the loss of normal structure and/or function.

Although leg pain is common and usually goes away without surgery, cauda equina syndrome, a rare disorder affecting the bundle of nerve roots (cauda equina) at the lower (lumbar) end of the spinal cord, is a surgical emergency.

Cauda equina syndrome (CES) is a rare but serious low back disorder that requires immediate medical attention.
