Overview of the Spine
The spine is the main supportive structure of the body. It is also the central component for movement. If the spine is injured or impaired, the effects can be painful, disabling or even life-threatening. Nearly 80% of people will suffer from lower back pain at least once in their lifetime and some patients will experience a much more chronic or degenerative spinal condition.
