What are Spine Disorders and Spine Injuries?

Spine disorders and injuries are serious because they affect the main support system of the body. The spine is made up of vertebrae (individual bones), facet joints (cartilage that connects the bones) and discs (spongy tissues that cushion the vertebrae). A problem in any of these parts can cause pain and restrict movement.

Spine disorders are very common. In fact, low back pain affects between 60 percent and 80 percent of the U.S. population.
