Research Notes on Spinal Disorders
There are many types of back and neck disorders that affect the majority of the population in the United States. Injury, aging, general health, and lifestyle may influence the development of some conditions. Most spinal disorders are known to result from soft tissue injury, structural injury, and degenerative, or congenital conditions.1
Fast Facts:
- Four out of every five people will experience back or neck pain in their lives.2
- Chronic pain caused by back or neck problems can seem very complex, since often the severity of the pain is not a true indicator of the severity of the problem.2
- The discs between the bones of the spine are made up of cartilage, fibrous tissue, and water.3
