Does your back hurt? If so, you're not alone! Low back pain affects up to 80% of people in the United States today. The standard treatment-spinal fusion surgery. Sadly, clinical reports indicate that at least one third of spinal fusion patients are unhappy with the results. The new kid in town? Lumbar Dynamic Stabilization, a less invasive, effective and reversible alternative to spinal fusion. For more information, contact Leslie at 866-978-2573 x 119.

Herniated Disc
Normal wear and tear, as well as severe strain or a traumatic injury, can cause the disks in your spine to rupture. This is called a herniated, or a "slipped" disc. This causes back pain when the ruptured disk pinches one of the nerves coming out of the spinal cord. The new Lumbar Dynamic Stabilization may be an option for you.

Damage to Intervertabral Disc
Damage to the intervertabral disc causes something called discogenic back pain. Discogenic back pain is the result of damage to the intervertabral disc, but without disc herniation. This is also often caused from general wear and tear. For more information on back treatment, call Leslie at 866-978-2573 x 119. - 3
Spinal Stenosis
As we grow older, the spinal canal can become constricted. When the spinal canal becomes too tight, back pain occurs. For more information on treating back pain, contact Leslie at 866-978-2573 x 119. -

Lumbar Spine Arthritis
Most people associate arthritis with knees and hips, but it can affect any joint in the body, including the small joints in the spine, which causes back pain with movement. Chat us for more information: healthtravelguides.custhelp.com/ci/documents/detail/2/1005. - 5
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis, the weakening of the bones of the body, can cause back pain. As people age, the disks that act as cushions between the vertebrae become flatter and less flexible. Without this cushioning, the joints between vertebrae press against each other, and can cause compression fractures. When this happens, your body may try to compensate by building new bone (spurs) to support the area where loading pressure is increased.
