What are the 3 vertebral disorders?
The most common disorders affecting the spine are degenerative, most often following trauma such as hard labour or whiplash. In spondylosis, bony spurs called osteophytes project from vertebrae and become denser, and vertebral disks degenerate and protrude. More commonly protrusion of a vertebral disk causes the spinal canal to narrow, distorts the local ligaments, and compresses an emerging nerve root, resulting in pain, weakness, and numbness in the area. Lumbar spinal stenosis is a condition characterized by the narrowing of a few segments of the spinal canal when the vertebrae, disks, and ligaments protrude, compressing the nerve roots
