About your back
Your spine is made up of bones called vertebrae, which are essentially the building blocks of your back. These bones are cushioned by discs of tissue which act as shock absorbers. Your spinal cord runs through a channel in the spine, and it is here where nerves branch off to the rest of the body. Occasionally though, these nerves can become compressed and create pressure which can be very painful.
Pain Management
Pain can be a sign from our body telling us that something is wrong. But there are different types of pain and we can often still suffer even after the source problem has been treated.
Back Surgery
When one or more nerves in your spine are put under pressure they can cause pain; back surgery is usually performed to relieve some of this pressure.
