Today’s Health Tips
* Lifting an object using the back, not the legs.
* Degenerative changes in the spine as people age.
* Straining the back during activity.
* An injury (tear or herniation) to a disc in the spine.
* Spondylolisthesis, a condition in which the vertebrae slip out of place and put pressure on nerves in the spine.
* Spinal stenosis, which occurs when the space around the spine narrows, resulting in pressure on nearby nerves and the spinal cord.
* Scoliosis, an abnormal curvature of the spine.
