Human spine has a complex structure. It has elements like bone called vertebrae, supporting soft tissues called muscles & ligaments, shock absorbers called intervertebral discs, nervous tissues called spinal cord & spinal nerves. The problem in spine may be arising from any of these elements. The close interdependence of one element on others can give bizarre presentation of spinal problem. Most often than not patients are confused about where to get treated & with whom to get treated? Whether it is an orthopedic problem or a neurosurgical or simple physiotherapy can cure it?
