* Disc Problems: Bulging or herniated discs
can press on nerves, causing pain or sciatica.

or rheumatoid arthritis can affect the spine.
• Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal
canal can compress nerves.
• Fractures & Spondylolisthesis: Bone injuries or slipped vertebrae can lead to severe discomfort.

ankylosing spondylitis.
