The spine is one of the most important parts of the body not only in humans. It forms a stable structure, giving support to our body. The spine has many different functions, it allows us to move freely, helps us to bend and twist, has a protective function for the spinal cord, our organs are suspended from it Therefore, keeping the spine in full working order is essential for leading an active life.

Spinal herniation is a serious condition associated with acute or chronic pain, which can lead to significant mobility limitation and neurological problems. Often referred to as a disc prolapse, spinal herniation is associated with the protrusion of the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc outside the intervertebral space with pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots.

This procedure is performed to stabilize the spine segment affected by disease and to relieve pressure on nerve structures causing pain. This is achieved by introducing appropriate implants that allow the affected vertebrae to be joined from the back. Pathologically altered bone and soft tissue fragments that compress nerve structures are also removed. To ensure adequate stability, it is possible to...

A spinal injection is a precisely performed procedure aimed at reducing a patient’s pain by alleviating swelling and localized inflammation. This is achieved by administering a mixture of a local anesthetic and a glucocorticosteroid, a medication with strong anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling properties.

Vertebroplasty – spinal cementation, is a relatively patient-friendly procedure accessible to everyone, including elderly individuals with cardiac conditions or cancer. The only requirement is the ability to lie on the stomach for 15–20 minutes.

Back pain, commonly referred to as low back pain, is one of the most common causes of disability among working adults. Between 50–80% of the adult population experiences back pain, and 40% suffer from it every year. These alarming statistics underscore the importance of taking a closer look at the issue of back pain.

The pace of modern life, poor quality of living, and lack of attention to personal health contribute to numerous conditions, including spinal problems. Spinal pain can often be alleviated through appropriate treatment and spine exercises. Pain in this area can affect individuals regardless of age or gender, decreasing physical fitness and potentially leading to limitations or even cessation of...

There are two types of sciatica: sciatica - associated with the lumbar part of the spine, and involving the cervical part - shoulder sciatica. Sciatica has a very unpleasant course, where intractable pain radiates from the lumbosacral region of the spine, through the buttock and the posterior surface of the lower limb to the foot. The pain, largely limiting daily activities, can appear suddenly or...

Spondylolysis is a condition that in the vast majority of cases is diagnosed in young and very physically active people. It practically does not occur in people who are not physically active, spending most of their time, for example, at the computer. This condition is due to the specific nature of movement, but also to the fact that the bone is not mature and is not as mechanically strong as we would...

Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which one vertebra moves forward in relation to the other. Among patients, there are two main groups: younger people, statistically under the age of 50 (with 30-40 year olds as a rule), and patients over the age of 50 (as a rule, they are around 60-70 years old).
