A Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) happens when the spinal cord is damaged, often from trauma, accidents, or disease.

This type of injury can disrupt communication between the brain and body, leading to partial or complete loss of movement and sensation below the injury site.

The impact depends on where and how severe the injury is—but with early care, rehabilitation, and new treatments, recovery and improved quality of life are possible.

At ANSI, we’re here to help patients and families navigate every step of the journey.

Adjacent Segment Disease can happen after a spinal fusion.
When one level of the spine is fused, the segments above or below take on extra stress — and over time, they may begin to degenerate.

Common symptoms include back pain, stiffness, or nerve irritation near the previous surgery site.
Early evaluation is key to managing pain and preserving mobility.

Sacroiliitis is the inflammation of one or both sacroiliac joints — where your spine meets your pelvis.

This condition can cause pain in the lower back, buttocks, and even down the legs, often worsening with prolonged standing or climbing stairs.

Treatment may include medication, physical therapy, or injections to reduce pain and inflammation.
Don’t ignore persistent low back pain — the right care can bring relief.

Cervical spondylosis is age-related wear and tear that affects the discs and joints in your neck.
It’s extremely common — most people over 60 have some degree of it, even if they don’t feel symptoms.

When symptoms do occur, they may include:
✔ Neck pain or stiffness
✔ Headaches that start in the neck
✔ Tingling or numbness in arms or hands

The good news: many cases can be managed with physical therapy, posture changes, and simple lifestyle adjustments. Surgery is only needed if symptoms are severe.

Protect your neck today for a healthier spine tomorrow.
