Multiple system atrophy Multiple system atrophy is a disease of the nervous system that leads to premature death. It results in parts of the brain and spinal cord gradually becoming more damaged over time.
Kyphosis Kyphosis is curvature of the spine that causes the top of the back to appear more rounded than normal. While some degree of curvature is normal, a curve of more than 60 degrees is considered a sign of kyphosis.
Coccydynia Coccydynia is a type of lower back pain felt around the last bone at the base of the spine (known as the coccyx or tailbone). The pain of coccydynia can range from mild to severe and is usually worse when:
Spondylolisthesis Spondylolisthesis occurs when a bone from the lower spine (a vertebra) slips out of position. This is not to be confused with a slipped disc, when one of the spinal discs inbetween the vertebrae ruptures.
Chiari malformation A Chiari malformation (sometimes called an Arnold Chiari) means that the lower parts of your brain have been pushed downwards towards your spinal cord, so they are below the entrance to your skull.
Ankylosing spondylitis Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a long-term (chronic) condition in which the spine and other areas of the body become inflamed. The symptoms of AS can vary but usually involve:
Tethered Spinal Cord Syndrome Tethered spinal cord syndrome is a neurological disorder caused by tissue attachments that limit the movement of the spinal cord within the spinal column.
Syringomyelia Syringomyelia (sear-IN-go-my-EEL-ya) is a disorder in which a cyst forms within the spinal cord. This cyst, called a syrinx, expands and elongates over time, destroying the center of the spinal cord.
